iv two papers in the book contain valuable criticisms on the history of India both Ancient and modern.

The addition of a biographical sketch and the list of original contributions by Dr. Ray and his pupils of the Indian School of Chemistry will, it is hoped, enhance the value of this publication.

The publishers desire to add a word of thanks to Dr. Ray for his kindness in selecting and revising these papers at their request.
