A Comparative Grammar of the Modern Aryan Languages of India v2.c9.1

v2.c9.1

The pressure of official work has largely increased, and, at one time, when I was called on to take charge of the administration of the Province of Orissa, was so heavy as to compel me to lay aside all literary work for six months.
