D.) OPINIONS Prof. Jules Bloch, Paris : I see new reasons to admire his scholarship and energy and enthusissm and disinterestedness, which cannot affect but for good a teaching career, The book itself, when compared to the old thesis (A History of Panjabi Literature), gives new matter, new views, and the plan and development in it are much clearer.....-have pleasure in sending you at once expression of approval and admiration. It is not given to all to have done so much at the age of fifty, having at the same time more work ready for publication (I hope the means for it will be found), Dr. Betty Heimann, London : I too am impressed by his maturity of thought, his apparent excellent training in Western and Eastern scholarship, his broadmindedness in acknowledging the various inheritance, his humane approach to all current problems, his lucid and poetical diction, his genuine mystic gifts, and his subtle sense for linguistic problems. All these unite to produce » mature and accomplished introduction to Panjabi Literature. Also the Western reader will appreciate the wide range of his problems and of their treatment. The added specimens of translated poems of tho various authors treated ore most informative and illustrative. Since the years of his work—partly under my guidance—at the School of Oriental Studies, Dr. Singh seems to have further risen in mental status, Mr. Edmund Blunden, London : I think the book includes s usefal short account of Panjabi Literature with a number of attractive literary illustrations well presented in English, Prof. G. Tucci, Rome ! I have found it to bea very interesting synthesis, so much 60, that it comes to fille need felt since long. Dr. S. Radhakrishnan : Ihave now read yout book on “An Introduction to Panjabi Literature” and I have been greatly impressed by you exposition of the subject and your wide learning. I hope you are getting some encouragement from those who are interested in Panjabi literature, Re 7/8/+
