Antiquarian Studies.
PUBLICATIONS FOR SALE
The Department has published several old historical masterpieces in English and in Assamese, edited on most up-to-date lines. Each Assamese chronicle is furnished with Preface and Introduction in English and Assamese, and Marginaha against each paragraph. The Asamar Padya-Baranji, the Kachari Buranji,, the Jayantia Buranji and the Assam Buranji (1648-1681 A.D.), have elaborate Synopses in English. Publication No. 6, Tung- khungia Buranji, is the first systematic English translation of an Assamese chronicle. In the paucity of written and authentic records about Cachar and Jayantia, our publica- tions, Kachari Buranji and Joyantia Buranji, will serve as valuable sources of information to all interested in the history of the two kingdoms. The Persian chronicle Baharistan-i-Ghaybi, the only extant manuscript of which is in the Bibliotheque Nationale of Paris, is already well- known to scholars in India. The complete English transla- tion of this chronicle, published for the first time, will be a valuable mine of information to students of Mughal history.
