Miscellaneous Papers Relating to Indo-China THE LIBRARY OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA LOS ANGELES ^u. — TRUBNER'8 ORIENTAL SERIES. " A knowledge of the commonplace, at least, of Oriental literature, philo- sophy, and religion is as necessary to the general reader of the present day as an acquaintance with the Latin and Greek classics was a generation or so ago. Immense strides have been made within tlie present century in these branches of learning ; Sanskrit has been brought within the range of accurate philology, and its invaluable ancient literature thoroughly investigated ; the langu.age and sacred books of the Zoroastrians have been laid bare ; Egyptian, Assyrian, and other records of the reniote past have been deciphered, and a group of scholars speak of still more recondite Accadiau and Hittite monu- ments ; but the results of all the scholarship that has been devoted to these subjects have been almost inaccessible to the public because they were con- tained for the most part in learned or exjjensive works, or scattered through- out the numbers of scientific periodicals. Messrs. Trubner & Co., in a spirit of enterprise which does them infinite credit, have determined to supply the constantly-increasing want, and to give in a popular, or, at least, a compre- hensive form, all this mass of knowledge to the world."

Being a revised form of the article "India," in the "Imperial Gazetteer," remodelled into chapters, brought up to date, and incorporating the general results of the Census of 1881. By the Hon. W. W. HUNTER, C.S.I., CLE., LL.D., Member of the Viceroy's Legislative Council, Director-General of Statistics to the Government of India. "The article 'India,' in Volume IV., is the tovichstone of the work, and proves clearly enough the sterling metal of which it is wrought. It represents the essence of the 100 volumes which contain the results of the statistical survey conducted by Dr. Hunter throughout each of the 240 districts of India. It is, moreover, the only attempt that has ever been made to show how tlie Indian people have been' built up, and the evidence from the original materials has been for the first time sifted and examined by the light of the local research in which the author was for so long engaged.

The Dhaiiiniapada, as hitherto known by the Pali Text Edition, as edited Viy FaUhboU, by Max Miiller's English, and Albrecht Weber's German tnnihilions, consists only of twenty-six chapters or sections, whilst the Chinese version, or rather recension, as now translated by Mr. Beal, con- i«t« of thirty-nine sections.

Translated from the Second German Edition by John Mann, JI.A., and Theodok Zachaeiae, Ph.D., with the sanction of the Author. Dr. BuHLER, Inspector of Schools in India, writes: — " "NMien I was Pro- fessor of Oriental Languages in Elphinstone College, I frequently felt the want of such a work to which I could refer the students." Professor CoWELL, of Cambridge, writes :— "It will be especially useful to the students in our Indian colleges and universities. I used to long for such a book when I was teaching in Calcutta. Hindu students are intensely interested in the history of Sanskrit literature, and this volume will supply them witli all they want on the subject." Professor AVhitnet, Yale College, Newhaven, Conn., U.S.A., writes:— " I was one of the class to whom the work was originally given in the form of academic lectures. At their first appearance they were by far the most learned and able treatment of their subject ; and with their recent additions they still maintain decidedly the same rank." " Is perhaps the most comprehensive and lucid survey of Sanskrit literature extant. The essays contained in the volume were originally delivered as academic lectures, and at the time of their first publication were acknowledged to be by far the most learned and able treatment of the subject. They have now been brougiit up to date by the addition of all the most important results of recent research." Times. > Post 8vo, cloth, pp. xii. — 198, accompanied by Two Language Maps, price t2s. A SKETCH OF THE MODERN LANGUAGES OF THE EAST INDIES. By ROBERT N. OUST. The Author has attempted to fill up a vacuum, the inconvenience of which pressed itself on his notice. Much had been written about the languages of the East Indies, but the extent of our present knowledge had not even been brought to a focus. It occurred to him that it might be of use to others to publish in an arranged form the notes which he had collected for his own edification. " Supplies a deficiency which has long been felt." Times. " The book before us is then a valuable contribution to philological science. It passes under review a vast number of languages, and it gives, or professes to give, in every case the sum and substance of the opinions and judgments of the best-infonned writers."

  • Handbook of Universal Literature
    HANDBOOK OF UNIVERSAL LITERATURE ANNE C. LYNCH BOTTA∗ PREFATORY NOTE TO THE REVISED EDITION. Since the first publication of this work in 1860, many new names have appeared in modern literature. Japan, hitherto almost unknown to Europeans, has taken her place among the nations with a literature of her own, and the researches and discoveries of scholars in various parts of the world have thrown much light on the literatures of antiquity. To keep pace with this advance, a new edition of the work has been called for. Prefixed is a very brief summary of an important and exhaustive History of the Alphabet recently published. PREFACE. This work was begun many years ago, as a literary exercise, to meet the personal requirements of the writer, which were such as most persons experience on leaving school and ”completing their education,” as the phrase is. The world of literature lies before them, but where to begin, what course of study to pursue, in order best to comprehend it, are the problems which present themselves to the bewildered questioner, who finds himself in a position not unlike that of a traveler suddenly set down in an unknown country, without guide-book or map. The most natural course under such circumstances would be to begin at the beginning, and take a rapid survey of the entire field of literature, arriving at its details through this general view. But as this could be accomplished only by subjecting each individual to a severe and protracted course of systematic study, the idea was conceived of obviating this necessity to some extent by embodying the results of such a course in the form of the following work, which, after being long laid aside, is now at length completed.

  • Unity in Diversity? How Intergroup Contact Can Foster Nation Building
    Unity in Diversity? How Intergroup Contact Can Foster Nation Building⇤ Samuel Bazzi† Arya Gaduh‡ Alexander Rothenberg§ Maisy Wong¶ Boston University University of Arkansas RAND Corporation University of Pennsylvania and CEPR January 2018 Abstract Throughout history, many governments have introduced policies to unite diverse groups through a shared sense of national identity. However, intergroup relationships at the local level are often slow to develop and confounded by spatial sorting and segregation. We shed new light on the long-run process of nation building using one of history’s largest resettlement programs. Between 1979 and 1988, the Transmigration program in Indonesia relocated two million voluntary migrants from the Inner Islands of Java and Bali to the Outer Islands, in an effort to integrate geographically segre- gated ethnic groups. Migrants could not choose their destinations, and the unprecedented scale of the program created hundreds of new communities with varying degrees of diversity. We exploit this policy-induced variation to identify how diversity shapes incentives to integrate more than a decade after resettlement. Using rich data on language use at home, marriage, and identity choices, we find stronger integration in diverse communities. To understand why changes in diversity did not lead to social anomie or conflict, we identify mechanisms that influence intergroup relationships, including residential segregation, cultural distance, and perceived economic and political competition from mi- grants. Overall, our findings
