There is, presumably, an underlying scan, which Google has arbitrarily chosen not to make available for viewing or download, despite its being old enough to be out of copyright.  I wonder whether the decision hinges on the conditions stipulated by the library that supplied the volume for scanning.  In any case, it seems increasingly common that old books on Google are restricted to showing only a “snippet” or nothing at all.  I did find this Google listing but didn’t bother to mention it because it is perfectly useless.

 

Best,
Tim

Thanks Asko.

 

Tim was asking partly on my behalf, as I am cleaning up my library and throwing out all xeroxes for books also available online, but wanting to keep for convenient scanning any xeroxes of works not yet available online.

 

I find this <https://books.google.fr/books/about/The_Srauta_Sutra_of_Drahyayana_with_the.html?id=iPZ3HAAACAAJ&redir_esc=y> but I cannot tell whether there actually is no underlying pdf or whether it's just the usual restriction upon access to GoogleBooks from Europe.

 

So should I try to scan my xerox and upload a pdf to Archive.org?

 

Best wishes,

 

Arlo

A good pdf of Burnell’s Vaṃsabrāhmaṇa can be downloaded from

http://dbooks.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/books/PDFs/590111097.pdf

 

J. N. Reuter’s The Śrauta-Sūtra of Drāhyāyaṇa with the commentary of Dhanvin, Part I, was supposed to appear as part 25:2 of Acta Societatis Scientiarum Fennicae, but it never did. Because devanagari printing could not be done in Finland, the book was typeset in London, and a very limited number of copies were published by Luzac & Co. in London in 1904. 

 

Best wishes, Asko

Thanks, Guy. That is it.  I don’t have access to download from Hathi, but the Hathi page helpfully points to the same volume on Google Books, which I myself had failed to find:

 

One down, one to go.

 

Best,
TL

Dear Professor Lubin,

 

I think the first of these is available on Hathi trust for download. Is this the right book? I haven't had any luck looking for the second, though.

 

Hope all is well!

Guy

Colleagues,

 

If any of you have a good PDF of either or both of these two old (out-of-copyright) volumes, which inexplicably are not made available on Google books, and elude me in Archive and in DLI as well, please share, ideally by uploading to Archive:

 

A. C. Burnell, The Vaṁçabrāhmaṇa, Mangalore 1873.

 

J. N. Reuters, The Śrautasūtra of Drāhyāyaṇa with the commentary of Dhanvin, London 1904.

 

With thanks,

Tim
