In the third number a very good article has appeared in Hindi and we commend the idea of the publisher and hope the Hindi reading public will appreciate it. We have read some of the articles and they are really very much interesting and useful... ln the first number a fine portrait of the Maharaja of Durbhanga accompanied with a sketch of his life is given.
