Excerpt from Catalogues of the Hindi, Panjabi, Sindhi, and Pushtu Printed Books in the Library of the British Museum
The present volume contains catalogues of literature both Hindu and Muhammadan, and a few remarks are necessary, therefore, to explain the system of nomenclature applied to each class of works.
The Hindi language is so closely allied to the Sanskrit, and its literature, as represented in the present Catalogue, consists so largely of works written, translated, and commented on by Sanskrit authors, that it has been thought desirable to adopt the Sanskrit forms of the names of authors and of their works on the principles already applied in the Catalogues of the Bengali, and of the Marathi and Gujarati Books in the British Museum.
