Captain R. C. Temple will publish shortly a Dictionary of Hindustani Proverbs, including many Marwari, Panjabi, Maggah, Bhojpuri, and Tirhuti Proverbs, by the late S. W. Fallon, Ph.D., Halle. "Dr. Fallon's collection of proverbs will be of immense use to European officials, as teaching them the real people's speech and opening up to them the hitherto sealed book of the native mind. If a young civilian had such a collection put before him on his arrival here, instead of the nauseous rubbish of the Prem Sāgar and Bāg-o-Bahār, he would come to know as much about the language in a year as is now ordinarily known even by the best scholars in ten or fifteen years."—John Beames. It is expected that the work will be completed in five parts, to appear as nearly as possible at intervals of two months. Trübner & Co. are the London agents.
