From the preface: "The 'second edition' of my 1887 attempt to reduce to standard rule the Nepali tongue, as spoken at cosmopolitan Darjeeling, is really an entirely new work. In preparing I have had the advantage of elaborate critical notes on the first edition by the most exalted authority in Kathmanda; in passing it through the press, the invaluable assistance of the Rev. G. P. Pradhan, the highest authority in Darjeeling." with an abbreviated vocabulary in the back, "pending the publication of a dictionary.".
