Art. XXI.—On a system of Letter-numerals used in South India

Extract

I trust that English readers will have before them ere long a full account of the very important “Encyclopaedia of Indian Research” (Grundriss der Indo-Arischen Philologie), at present in course of publication by K. Trübner of Strassburg, under the editorship of Dr. Bühler. A copy of the editor's own extremely weighty contribution on “Indische Palaeographie” has, together with its accompanying set of excellent plates, reached me by the author's kindness. At his request I now draw attention to an. omission in his chapter on the denotation of numerals (VI. Zahlenbezeichnung, pp. 73–83).
