A founding text of comparative philology, Franz Bopp's Vergleichende Grammatik was originally published in parts, beginning in 1833, and by the 1870s had appeared in three editions in German, as well as in English and French translations. Bopp (1791-1867), Professor of Sanskrit and Comparative Grammar at Berlin, set out to prove the relationships between Indo-European languages through detailed description of the grammatical features of Sanskrit compared to those of Zend (Avestan), Greek, Latin, Lithuanian, Gothic and German. This translation (1845-50) of Bopp's first edition gave English-speaking scholars access to his important findings. Translated by Edward Backhouse Eastwick (1814-1883), the multi-lingual diplomat and scholar, and edited by Horace Hayman Wilson (1786-1860), Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford, this work testifies both to Bopp's magisterial research and to Eastwick's extraordinary skill in translation. This volume covers phonology, nominal inflection, adjectives and numerals.

The coins and antiquities that Horace Hayman Wilson discusses and describes in his book are mostly those that were discovered by a Mr Masson in Peshawar and Kabul in Afghanistan. His discoveries, that is, collections, as previously agreed upon with the East India Company, were sent to England, and deposited in the Company's Museum.Wilson describes how they were discovered, the excitement and elucidations that these generated and received, respectively, from the antiquarians, numismatists and eminent scholars of Europe. The coins found were mostly associated with the Bactrian and Sasanian periods. Hindu and Mohammedan coins mentioned in the book are those that were found in Afghanistan. Most of the coins and antiquities had been found in edifices called topes, and one chapter is devoted to these topes, which has been written by Masson himself; in addition to describing the edifices, Masson has also mentioned about the regions – Chahar Bagh, Darunta and Hidda.In addition to describing and explaining the coins that Masson sent to England, as well as deriving from them some facts relating to the history of the dynasties that had ruled for several centuries over the countries in which they had been discovered, Wilson has also included descriptions of coins that belonged to the same family but are not from Masson's collection. Illustrated with sketches, Wilson's book will interest scholars, particularly those interested in numismatics, and antiquarian history of Afghanistan.
