Grammar Of Colloquial Tibetan

In addition to the grammars formerly consulted I have examined Mr. Hannah's careful work, which was not published until some years after my first edition had seen the light. My acknowledgment are also due to the Government of Bengal, who have defrayed the cost of this edition also in return for the copyright which I have made over to them. This Grammar has been adopted as one of the text- book in the High Proficiency examination in the Tibetan language held under the auspices of the Government of India. In conclusion I must express my pleasure at finding that a second edition was called for owing to the first edition being sold out,- a rare occurrence among books on Tibet,- for it may be hoped that some have found it useful.
