The Gift of a Cow. A Translation of the Hindi Novel, Godaan, by Premchand. Translated by GORDON C. ROADARMEL. Pp. xii + 442. Bloomington and Lon- don: INDIANA UNIVERSITY PRESS. 1968. $7.95.

The last completed novel of the first major Hindi novelist, who died in 1936, several months after its pub- lication. '.. . to the reader who views this novel not only as an isolated literary work but also as a kind of historical and social document, the occasional digres- sions, the moralizing and the romanticizing can be ap- preciated as a source of insight into the writer and his time.'

Descriptive Catalogue of Sanskrit Manuscripts in Gan- ganatha Jha Research Institute, Allahabad. By UMESHA MISHRA. Vol. I, Pt. 1, pp. x + 387; Vol. I, Pt. 2, pp. 390-929. Allahabad: THE GANGANATHA JHA RESEARCH INSTITUTE. 1967. Price: Vol. I, Pt. 1, Rs. 25.00; Vol. I, Pt. 2, Rs. 35.00.

The catalogue contains 4,593 titles arranged according to the Government of India plan, giving the serial num- ber of each ms., its accession number, the title of the work, the names of the author, the commentator, the writing material, the script, the size of the ms., the number of folios, the number of lines per page and number of letters per line, whether the ms. is complete or not, its condition and additional information where required. The scope of Sanskrit composition is fully rep- resented, with the 800 stotras an excellent source for materials on devotional literature. The collection of a few hundred mss., started in 1943 by Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. Sir Ganganatha Jha and donated to the Institute by his sons, has been augmented since then by the Honorary Secretary of the Institute, Mahamahopadhyaya Dr. Umesha Mishra.

An Urdu Newspaper Word-Count. By MUHAMMAD ABD-ALRAHMAN BARKER, HASAN JAHANGIR HAM-

DANI, and KHWAJA MUHAMMAD SHAFI DIHLAVI. Pp. xli + 453. Montreal: MCGILL UNIVERSITY PRESS. 1969.

This volume, completing the Urdu language project carried out at the Institute of Islamic Studies of McGill University (The preceding volumes are A Course in

Urdu, 1967; An Urdu Newspaper Reader and A Reader of Modern Urdu Poetry, 1968), is in two parts-the first, an Urdu-English alphabetical list, and the second, a frequency list. Each entry in the corpus, compiled from Pakistani newspapers-Indian Urdu newspapers con- tained Hindi words which are rare, even unknown in Pakistan-, gives, in the alphabetical list, the orthog- raphy of the lexeme, its frequency of occurrence, pro- nunciation, grammatical class membership, meaning(s) and usage. The second part lists the entries in descending order of frequency. We are indebted to the several agen- cies which made it possible for Professor Barker and his associates to share the invaluable fruits of their pro- digious labors with other tillers in the field.
