In a country where Sylvain Levi is worshipped but has not yet been adequately translated, one naturally hesitates to accept such a suggestion: I finally consented on the grounds that it is useful to be read. However, when the titles of the articles selected were scrutinized by the Faculty Board, it van decided that the volume could only be accepted as a publication of the Institute if all the articles concerned Nepal. This I could not agree to, for three reasons. First, such a volume would have given a one-sided view of my activity; secondly, if sociological research is to be given real impulsion in Nepal, it cannot be confined within the political borders of one country; thirdly, it is to be presumed that the title of our Institute corresponds to the activities we cultivate therein. Fortunately at this point Hallvard Kuldy and Ratna Pustak Bhandar proposed to accept the volume for publica tion in \"Bibliotheca Himalayica\". I am most grateful to them for this helping hand. \u003cp\u003e It seemed best to print the articles in the chronological order in which they originally appeared. Obviously today I would prefer to re caste or at least re-phrase several of these articles. Much work has since been done on many of the matters discussed in these papers and some of my strictures are no longer valid. However, adequate library facilities were not at my disposal here for bringing all the articles up to dete. So rather than patch up one or two of them with the help of the literature available, all have been translated practically unchanged. The original illustrations could not be reproduced I would point out that the English originals of many passages quoted in French in these articles were not available for consultation in Kathmandu. So it is only to be hoped that the number of mistakes consequent un re-translation is not important. If any author finds that he has been misquoted, 1 trust he will realise that such was never my intention. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Two articles of mine concerning Nepal will appear shortly in English translation in a volume entitled Spirit Possession in Nepal, to be edited by John T. Hitchcock and published by Aris and Phillips, Ltd., Warminster, England. For copyright reasons they could not be included here. The original titles of these two articles were \"Notes préliminaires sur quelques jhakri du Muglan\", published in the Journal Asiatique, 1962, p. 107-139 and \"La sorcellerie dans le code népalais de 1853\", published in 1'Home, VIII, 1, 1968, p. 62-69. Apart from the book which I published in collaboration with Sans-rgyas batan-jin Documents pour l'étude de la religion et de l'organisation sociale des Sherpa, 1, Junbesi-Nanterre, 1971, other articles which I have published about Nepal, and which are not in the present volume, are: \"Sur un sarangi de Chine\" (written in colllbo ration with Mireille Helffer) in. Objets et Mondes, VI, 2, Paris, 1966, p. 133-142; \"Le fruit de l'effort: un conte népali de l'est\", in the Journal Asiatique, 1968, p. 419-444; \"A Nepalese copper-plate from the time of Prithivinarayan Shah's father\", in Kailash, 1, 1, Kathmandu, 1973, p. 6-7; \"The Lana and the General\", in Kailash, 1, 3, Kathmandu, 1973, p. 225-233; and \"Sociology and Anthropology in Nepal\" in Social Science in Nepal, Kirtipur, 1974, p. 27-38. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cb\u003e\u003cfont color=\"red\" size=\"5\"\u003e**Contents and Sample Pages**\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190b.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190c.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190d.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190e.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190f.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190g.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190h.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190i.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190j.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190k.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190l.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190m.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190n.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190o.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190p.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190q.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190r.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190s.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190t.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.exoticindia.com\/images\/products\/original\/books-2019\/uas190u.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Occultnthings","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44649278865709,"sku":"UAS190","price":79.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2094\/2117\/products\/uas190.jpg?v=1677953655","url":"https:\/\/occultnthings.com\/it\/products\/essays-on-ethonology-of-nepal-and-south-asia-set-of-2-volumes-old-and-rare-book-uas190","provider":"Occult-N-Things","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
