The interest inherent in national Proverbs, and

the importance of rendering themreadily under-
stoodby oriental Students, induced alate distin-
guished Scholar Dr. W. Hurrer, the Secretary
to the Council of the College of Fort William, to
undertake m
‫ا‬ a compilatio

from the various languages taught in the College:
he had scarcely, however, been honoured with the
patronage of Government, and commenced his pre
parations for the work, whenhe was called away
by his professional duties to terminate hishonour
able and useful career in the Island of Jaoa.
Upon his quitting the College, Dr. Hurren
transferred the execution of the task of continuing
the compilation ‫ و‬and translating the ,sbrevorP to
Capt. RoEBucx, who entered uponit with the same
zeal and diligence whichhad distinguished his
predecessor:his progress in the work washowever
retarded by his official ‫و‬snoitacova and hyliterary

bepartly ascribed to the avidity with whichhe
prosecuted his Hindustant studies, and the assidu
ous aidhe gave to Dr. GILcaRIsr, in the prepara
‫و‬tion
oftwo laborious works the British Indian
Monitor, and English and Hindustani Dictionary.
Henceforward indeed the literature of Hindustan
became Capt. Rosagex spassion, and the remain

favourite pursuit.
The labours of Dr. Grucnarsr formeda new era

bour and ingenuity Dr. GILcitrtrsr extracted the
precepts from the practice, and establisheda stand
ard, from whichthere is no occasion to appeal, and
which has been of no less importance to the pre

servation thanto the acquirement of the language

The value of the article thus successfully redeemed
from the operations ofehance and time, is un
questionable.Asa medium of colloquial inter
course the Hindutstani is availablethroughout all
the provinces of the British Empire in the East ‫و‬
and althoughit isemployed withmany shades of

Its acquisitionistherefore an object ofprimary

The doctrines of Dr. GILCHRIsrfound a zealous

supporter in Capt. RoEBuck, and the similarity in

sentiment as well as the direction of theirstudies

led to a cordial co-operation between them.With

the permission of the Court of Directors the stay of
the latter in England wasprotracted beyond the
usual term, and the period was sedulouslydevoted
tO objects of successful study, and public utility :
‫ص‬besides
associating with .rD GILcHRIsr in the gra
‫م‬tuitous
communication of instruction in Hindus

tani to young men destined for India, Capt. Ros-

Bucx assisted in the completion of the two works
alreadymentioned، The Second Wolume of the
British Indian Monitorwas in fact prepared for
publication by him, and Dr. GILcaarsrhas with
as muchliberality as candour expressly stated that
hadhe not fortunately met with suchan associate
neitherthat nor the English and Hindustani
Dictionary would have been undertaken.The

Dictionary is a work of greatmerit and labour: the
