Book of Indian Eras, with Tables for Calculating Indian Dates c2.28

c2.28

Cowasjee Patell's Chronology is an extremely useful practical work, as it gives a large number of corresponding lists of years of different eras "in use among Parsis, Jews, Greeks, Hindus, Muhammadans, Chinese, Japanese, &c. The brief accounts of the eras are generally taken from Prinsep, as well as the rules for calculating the dates. The Tables are singularly free from misprints; but whilst I was calculating my own Tables and comparing them with his, I found the following errata, which may be worth noting by all those who possess a copy of his work.
