PBIFACE that there were representatives from the Educational Department of Bengal, the Punjab, the Cantral Provinoes and the United Provinces. In this oonneotion, I had to study and make myself familier with the materials for Soientifio Terminology in the vernaculara of the Presidencies montioned above. . 4 The seotion of the Soientifio Terminology whioh forms an important featnre of my Diotionary, is a fourth attempt in this direction, and therefore, perhaps, an improvement upon ita predecessors, more wide in scope, and more up-to-date in resulta. I feel that, at least for 25 years to come, there will be no need of a new Anglo-Vernacular Soientifio Lexioon, till new materials gooumulate, new needs arise, and the results, embodied in my Diotionary, are carried into the main stream of the vernaculars of the people. Services of Sanskrit indispensable to the Modern Vernaculars of India. The services of Sanskrit are indispensable to the modern vernaculars of India for fixing new equivalents for corresponding English scientifio terms of Higher Mathematics, Astronomy, Physios, Chemistry, Zoology, Botany, Biology, Geology, Physiology, Anatomy, Surgery, &o. There are four reasons for this. Reason No. I.-The modern verhaoulars of India. are poor in prefixes, suffixes and inflexions.-elements necessary to form new short words. Sanskrit is rich in these elements and. therefore, most fitted for the formation of new words to express new idsas of such of the Westera Soionoes, as, Botany, Physics, Chemistry, &o. Reagon No. II.-In Soientific Literature, the main or the leading words of a soience must be plastio. They can then be made to easily yield a large number of derivatives and com. pound words, simply by the addition of suffixes and prefixes or by slight inflexional changer This plasticity Sanskrit words possess. Take the word Electricity; from it, by slight obsnges. We got eleotrio, electrify, electrometer, electroscope, and electrolysis; 80 we must fix & vernacular equivalent for electricity, which, by slight ohanges, will yield appropriate vernacular equivalents for oleotric, electrify, &c., and such a vernacular equivalent will be 8 Sanskrit word only. Sanskrit words, thus newly coined and fixed, should be subjected to the laws of the grammars of esoh o modern vernsoulars of India and will then appear as the old denizens of each of these lanon tes for this work consisted of the following:-(1) Babu Bhagwan Das, M, A.
