"Miserrimus."
 
I am the most miserable, Thou the most merciful: with
such a tie between me and thee, O Lord, Thou most surely
save me.
 
PETER PETERSON.
 
ELPHINSTONE COLLEGE, MARCH 1886.
 
SECOND EDITION
 
This is a reprint of the First Edition; minor corrections
(required by the new rules about the use of diacritical marks,
such as ś for श, ṣ for ष, n for ङ्, c for च, ch for छ etc.) have
been made.
 
There was an idea about revising the Preface to some extent,
but the authorities rightly decided to leave it as it is, because not
much was really needed by way of correction, and the preface
as it is was a pointer to the real greatness of Dr. Peterson as a
scholar, in spite of the handicap he suffered, seventy-five years
ago, in editing such works.
