Further research would probably reveal more hidden treasures of Hindoo folklore; but this small collection of tales will doubtless suffice to throw light on Indian tradition, and to bring forward the natural peculiarities of the Hindoos as well as the assimilation of the folklore of different nations, an assimilation which the author maintains results from the teaching propensities of each country and not from appropriation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
