tnres, and proved that Greek art had once influenced that now inhos- pitable region. In the course of his literary activity Dr. Leitner has brought together one of the largest collections in the possession of a private individual^ and which is unique in many respects. Besides its ethnographical and numismatic interest, it chiefly illustrates the influence of Greek art when in contact with barbaric sculpture, whether Egyptian, Indian, Assy- rian, or Persian. A portion of it is deposited on loan at the India Museum. Dr. Leitner is Principal of the Lahore Government College (in which the Delhi College is now incorporated) ; Principal of the Oriental College, Lahore ; and Re- gistrar of the Punjaub University. He is also the President of an im- portant body which he founded in 186 4, namely, the Punjaub Associa- tion, or Anjuman-i-Pimjaub, an institution for social, political, and educational reforms. Dr. Leitner speaks, reads, and writes 25 lan- guages, and is probably the greatest living linguist. Dr. Leitner at- tended the Congress of Orientalists held at Florence in Sept., 1878. His published works comprise : — " Theory and Practice of Educa- tion ; " " Philosophical Grammar of Arabic ; " the same translated into Urdu and Arabic; "The Sinln - ul - Islam " (History and Literatiire of Muhammadanism in their relations to Universal History) ; "The Races of Turkey, with principal reference to Muham- madan Education;" "Comparative Vocabulary and Grammar of the Dardu Languages ; " Dialogues in the above languages ; " Results of a Tour in Dardistan, Kashmir, Little Thibet, Ladak, Zanshar, &c.," Lond.. 1868, et seq. ; "History of Dardistan, Songs, Legends, &c. ; " " Graeco-Buddhistic Discoveries ; " "A National University for the Punjaub;'* and "Adventures of a( Siah Posh Kafir."
