    PREFACE. THE number of manuscripts in Bengali and Assamese is small, and the manuscripts themselves are of little importance. Of those in Bengali the chief are three books of Kasirama’s metrical version of the Jlahdbharata, a copy of Mukundarama’s Chandi, and three copies of the Vidyd-Sundara of Bharatachandra. The others are lives of Chaitanya and minor Vaishnava works. Passages from the manuscripts are quoted exactly, with all the mistakes and peculiarities of the originals, J. F. BLUMHARDT. July, 1921.
