1 This bibliography has one serious defect: it does not give the dates of publication of the works cited in the alphabetical list of authors at the end of the book. This at times makes cross references valueless.

2 M. Schweisguth asserts (p. 16) that ‘the Siamese language is not harmonious'. I do not share this opinion—for, without doubt, the Siamese is the most euphonic of all the Indo-chinese tongues, as well as the most agreeable language for singing.
