TIBETAN TALES DERIVED FROM INDIAN SOURCES.
Translated from the Tibetan of the Kah-Gyur.
By F. Anton Von Schiefner.
Done into English from the German, with an Introduction,
By W. R. S. Ralston, M.A.
"Mr. Ralston, whose name is so familiar to all lovers of Russian folk-lore, has supplied some interesting Western analogies and parallels, drawn, for the most part, from Slavonic sources, to the Eastern folk-tales, culled from the Kahgyur, one of the divisions of the Tibetan sacred books."—Academy.
"The translation ... could scarcely have fallen into better hands. An Introduction ... gives the leading facts in the lives of those scholars who have given their attention to gaining a knowledge of the Tibetan literature and language."—Calcutta Review.
"Ought to interest all who care for the East, for amusing stories, or for comparative folk-lore."—Pall Mall Gazette.
