Excerpt from The Panchatantra-Text of Purnabhadra: And Its Relation to Texts of Allied Recensions, as Shown in Parallel Specimens IN the Preface to volume xi, I have already explained that I originally intended to publish the material of this volume with that of volume xii. Technical considerations (they concern the bookbinder's art) forbade. The size and shape of the sheets on which the parallel specimens are printed, made it desirable to mount them on guards, like the maps of an atlas, and to fold each half of each sheet a single time in. It is hoped that this arrangement, and especially the fact that the specimens are in a separate set of covers, will prove admirably convenient. At the time of the issue of volume xi, I expected to print these parallel specimens in polychromy (see volume xi, page xvii), and have accordingly alluded to them as polychrome specimens or coloured specimens here and there in my occasional papers. The polychrome process was given up on account of the inordinate expense which it involves. It is hoped that the use of several different kinds of type will not prove more confusing than the use of different shades of colour. At best, the distinctions are difficult ones to render. My sincerest thanks are due to the Controller of the University Press, Mr. Horace Hart, for his patience and skill in meeting my wishes.
