Synopsis

Excerpt from The Indian Calendar: With Tables for the Conversion of Hindu and Muhammadan Into A. D. Dates, and Vice Versa

It is impossible to over-estimate the value of the work done by Dr. Schram, which renders it now for the first time easy for anyone to ascertain the incidence, in time and place, of every solar eclipse occurring in India during the past 1600 years, but while thus briefly noting his services in the cause of science, I cannot neglect this opportunity of expressing to him my gratitude for his kindness to myself.
