The Calcutta Law Journal December 1 1911

In one instance at least namely in the case of the Dayatattwa of Raghunandan the work of a living translator Sastri Golap Chandra Sarkar has been reproduced without acknowledgment ; whether this has been done with the permission of the translator we are not in a position to state. [...] The object of Old Series of Indian Decisions is to give a verbatim reproduction with Notes and Indexes of the reports of cases decided by the Supreme Courts and the Sudder Courts which administered justice in the different Presidencies before the establishment of the existing High Courts. [...] The cases themselves furnish luminous expositions of legal principles by some of the most eminent Judges who adorned the SupFeme Court at Calcutta and memberstof all branches of the profession would be the better for a study of these epocg-making judgments. [...] The work bears the impress of'the hand of an experienced member of the profession and is bound to prove useful as a book of reference in dealing with this class of cases. [...] The most valuable part of the commentary is the analysis of the decisions of the Bombay City Improvement Tribunal—that Tribunal has often been called upon to decide questions of principle of greN importance and although their decisions may not be binding upon the High Courts the view taken may be interesting and possibly also instructive.
