By JAMES GRAY, Author of "Elements of Pali Grammar," "Translation of the Dhammapada," &c. The Sanscrit-P^li word Nlti is equivalent to "conduct" in its abstract, and "guide" in its concrete signification. As applied to books, it is a general term for a treatise which includes maxims, pithy sayings, and didactic stories, intended as a guide to such matters of e very-day life as form the character of an individual and influence him in his relations to his fellow-men. Treatises of this kind have been popular in all ages, and have served as a most effective medium of instruction.
