Author of " Buddhist Records of the Western World," " The Romantic Legend of Sakya Budda," &c. When the Pilgrim Hiuen Tsiang returned from his travels in India, he took up his abode in the Temple of "Great Benevolence ; " this convent had been constructed by the Emperor in honour of the Empress, Wen-te-hau. After Hiuen Tsiang's death, his disciple, Hvvui Li, composed a work which gave an account of his illustrious Master's travels ; this work when he com- pleted he buried, and refused to discover its place of concealment. But previous to his death he revealed its whereabouts to Yen-tsung, by whom it was finally revised and published. This is "The Life of Hiuen Tsiang." It is a valuable sequel to the Si-yu-ki, correcting and illustrating it in many particulars. Post 8vo. A SKETCH OF THE MODERN LANGUAGES OF OCEANIA. By R. N. CUST, LL.D.
