Book Description
The immediate incentive to this undertaking was, a knowledge, or at least a strong impression, that a connected and explanatory translation of the rules of jurisprudence in the Dharma Śástra of Yájnavalkya was a practical want. Such impression was coincided in, and therefore proved correct, by a long list of local subscribers eminently qualified, by position and experience, to decide. Dr. Röer is responsible for the fidelity of the rendering, so far as depends on knowledge of the Sanscrit language and literature, of Hindu mythology and philosophy. Mr. Montriou has aided, so far as enabled by juridical acquirements and experience. The language of translation has, therefore, been a joint labour, often the result of much and anxious discussion, and, if not unfrequently but a choice of doubtful alternatives, yet, always a choice made with pains and circumspection. The text we have generally followed is Stenzler's which is based on and selected from two MSS. in the royal library at Berlin and two editions published in Calcutta. We have not neglected constant comparison with Stenzler's German translation as well as with the several detached passages as translated by Colebrooke and W. Macnaghten. Words within brackets are not in the original text. References to, and extracts from, the standard commentary upon Yájnavalkya, the Mitákshará, necessarily form the staple of our notes. All such extracts are distinguished by the initial (M.), and the author of the commentary we invariably refer to as, the Commentator. At the same time, we have not blindly or implicitly followed this commentator. In some sense all Hindu glosses are untrustworthy guides. They assume the text to be the language of inspiration; and, as the several Dharma Śástras not merely differ, but often dispose of the same subject in a contradictory manner, Pandits deem it their duty to reconcile all discrepancies, how forced soever their interpretations may be. In passages so dealt with, we have endeavoured to give the plain meaning of the original text. We gratefully acknowledge the obliging assistance, in research, enquiry, and suggestion, occasionally afforded, in the progress of our task, by Babus, Chandra Saikhur Dev and Shyámácharaṇa Sircar.

Book Description
Françoise a suspendu au cou de la furibonde, et si lamentablement comique, Marie-Antoinette Corbier, le collier de ses beaux bras frais. Son fin visage, aux cheveux de mousse cuivrée, s’est appuyé sur les bonnes grosses joues empourprées, soudain ruisselantes de larmes, de la vieille demoiselle qui, mi-fâchée, mi-souriante, cherchait à se dégager de cette douce étreinte, opposant, pour la forme, un semblant de résistance qu’elle aurait voulu plus stoïque. Sur un oreiller où, faisant mine de se lever, la toque Jean-Jacques venait d’être gaiement bousculée par sa nièce, les deux femmes maintenant s’embrassaient. Une affection profonde les unissait tendrement l’une à l’autre. D’indissolubles liens attachaient ces deux cœurs, liens faits de gratitude et d’admiration réciproques. Depuis sa triste naissance d’orpheline, Françoise n’avait-elle pas toujours été l’enfant gâtée, l’unique amour, la seule et véritable adoration de Marie-Antoinette Corbier ? Quand ce bébé était tombé dans sa vie, comme un aérolithe dans les plates-bandes d’un jardin de curé, bouleversant une existence ouatée, douillette et confortable, de célibataire irréductible, quadragénaire et bien rentée, Marie-Antoinette avait trouvé toute naturelle la tâche qui lui incombait, mettant à la remplir autant d’ardeur que de joyeuse hâte. Enfin ! Enfin, elle allait donc avoir quelqu’un à aimer !… Quelqu’un dont elle n’aurait à craindre nulle peine et nulle trahison, quelqu’un sur l’âme de qui elle comptait pouvoir régner, à sa façon, en souveraine maîtresse ! Cette moustachue, dont la poitrine opulente et l’académie de lutteuse eussent fait bonne figure chez Marseille, affichait des allures de despote. Ah ! si elle avait eu un mari !… En voilà un qu’elle eût, prétendait-elle, mené non pas à la baguette, mais à la cravache ! Il eût fait beau voir qu’il la trompât !… Elle déclarait, avec un sérieux impayable, que si, jadis, on avait inventé une ceinture de chasteté pour martyriser les femmes, il fallait que celles-ci eussent eu l’imagination bien pauvre pour n’avoir point trouvé de réplique.

Hindu Law And Judicature: From The Dharma-Śástra Of Yájnavalkya In English With Explanatory Notes And Introduction By Edward Röer And W. A. Montriou This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!
