Excerpt from A Comparative Grammar of the Gaudian Languages: With Special Reference to the Eastern Hindi, Accompanied by a Language-Map and a Table of Alphabets
As regards the sources of my materials for the grammar of Eastern Hindi, in the absence of all literature (except in the Baiswari), I had to rely almost entirely _on the information, partly obtained through long personal intercourse with the people, but especially supplied by native scholars or (in a few cases) by Europeans intimately acquainted with the country people. Among the former it gives me great pleasure to acknowledge the very efficient help rendered me by the kindness of Pandit Gopal Bhatta, Professor of Sanskrit at the Jay Narain's College in Benares, who to a scholarly knowledge of Sanskrit adds an intimate acquain tance of the Vernaculars as spoken by the people, representatives of whom, from every part of India, may be met with in Benares.
