Extract

page 195 note 4 The alternative, a gross absurdity, is, that the venerable Essayist at once suppressed the mention of an authority, and foisted into a sentence of some Sanskrit glossator a proper name of which that glossator knows nothing.

page 196 note 8 In writing thus positively, I only expect it to be conceded that the identity of a passage is not destroyed by slight various readings.

page 196 note 9 Inasmuch as, against sixty-five lines of citation common between the Essay and the Vivâdabhangârṇava, there are at least ninety lines common between the Essay and the S'uddhitattwa, one might, in ignorance of the truth, be disposed to substitute this work, as the main promptuary of the Essay, in place of the Vivâdabhangârṇava; especially as the other was, probably, quite as accessible to Colebrooke, if not more accessible.
