Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. It is much to be regretted that a careless habit of thought takes it for granted that a good Indian word of one locality is a good Indian word of another, and that names may be transferred from North to South or from South to North at the free will of an innkeeper or of a poet. Such transfers of words, which in the beginning amount almost to falsehood, cause more confusion and more as time goes by.
