A Treatise on Hindu Law and Usage

1900

The recent works of M. Leon Sorg Chief Justice of the Court of First Instance in Pondicherry have for the first time supplied us with a connected view of the mode in which questions of Hindu Law are dealt with by French jurists. [...] The investigations of the Malabar Marriage Commission have thrown a flood of light upon the existence of polyandry on the West Coast of India and upon the character of the unions con-. tracted umfer its influence. [...] The cross-references in the body of the work and in the contents are still to the pargraphs but those in the index and table of cases are for the first time to the pages—a change which I hope will'be found a convenience to the reeler. [...] Narayen Mandlik has supplied us with a translation of the whole of Yajnavalkya and a new rendering of the Mayukha ; while the Sarasvati Vilasa and the Viramitrodaya have been rendered accessible by the labours of Mr. [...] The age of miracles has passed and I hardly expect to see a code of Hindu Law which shall satisfy the trader and the agriculturist the-Punjabi and the Bengali the pandits of Benares and Ramaiswaram of Umritsur and of Yvna.
