"This volume is a collection of studies printed at various times ... 'Studies in northern Himalayan dialects' was the first to be written; it was privately printed in 1902. Sketches of ten dialects were printed in 1905 with a view to their being incorporated in the forthcoming gazetteers of the Simla states, Camba state and the states of the Maṇḍī and Sukēt. Lastly, notes on seven dialects in Kuḷū and Jammũ̄ state together with a Sāsī vocabulary have been printed in 1906"--Pref., p. [i].

All the dialects treated of in these pages are Aryan with the one exception of Camba Lahūlī (Tibeto-Burman) cf. Pref., p. iv.
