A letter of correspondence from T.W. Arnold addressed to Miss Charlotte Hughes, the Secretary and Librarian at the RAS, concerning the possible identification of Gogerly translations at the India Office. He suggests that Gogerly gave some of his translations to Monsieur Grimblot to bring from Ceylon. Written on October 5, 1907. A folded sheet having an imprinted letterhead 'India Office Whitehall, S.W.' 18.7cmX12cm.

The sub-series contains 12 numbered notebooks with Gogerly's translations of various jātaka stories. It seems that the collection is not complete as some of the notebooks are missing. In Theravāda Buddhism, the jātakas (c. 4th century BCE) are a textual division of the Pāli Canon, included in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya ('Minor Collection') of the Sutta Piṭaka - the second group of the Pāli collection of Buddhist writings. The term mainly refers to the stories of Gautama Buddha's previous lives, in both human and animal form.

The manuscript is an original Gogerly translation of the Thūpavaṃsa chronicle. Written in July of 1850, in Sri Lanka (Ceylon). It contains 16 bound pages, and seems to be only a small piece of a full document, which was attempted for publication. Translated from Pāli or Sinhalese to English. Written on both sides in brown ink. Slightly fragile. The Thūpavaṃsa narrates the history of the relics of Śākyamuni Buddha, and contains a rich depiction of the institutionalisation of the Buddha-Śāsana in Ceylon during the reigns of kings Aśoka and Devanampiyatissa, as well as the construction of relic monuments by the later king Duṭṭhagāmaṇī. The central focus of this work concerns the variety of relics associated with the historical Buddha, particularly how the relics were acquired and the presumed benefits of venerating them. Approx. 31.7cmX21.7cm.

This series contains four manuscripts related to Gogerly's translation of the Thūpavaṃsa chronicle. The Thūpavamsa, composed by Parākama Pandita in thirteenth-century Sri Lanka, is an important example of a Buddhist chronicle written in the vernacular Sinhalese language. The text is also among those works that inform public discussion and debate over the place of Buddhism in the Sri Lankan nation state.

The series includes two original Gogerly manuscripts related to his translation of the Dhammapada text. The Dhammapada is a collection of sayings (423 in total) of the Buddha in verse form, and is one of the most widely read Buddhist scriptures. The original version of the Dhammapada is found in the Khuḍḍaka Nikāya division of the Theravādin Pāli Canon, and was written around the 3rd century BCE. Each saying recorded in the collection was made on a different occasion in response to a unique situation that had arisen in the life of the Buddha and his monastic community.

The manuscript is an original Gogerly translation of various fragments from the first 50 suttas of the Aṅguttara-nikāya. It includes Pāli, Sinhalese and English text. Written in Gogerly's hand in Sri Lanka (Ceylon), date unknown. The file includes 5 bound A4 notebooks of brown paper (having 19/20/16/18/32 sheets, respectively). Some of the sheets are loose. Notebook 4 is very fragile. The Aṅguttara-nikāya is a Buddhist scripture, the fourth of the five nikāyas ('collections') in the Sutta Piṭaka. This nikāya consists of several thousand suttas ascribed to the Buddha and his chief disciples, which are arranged in eleven books, according to the number of dhamma items referenced in them. Notebooks 4 and 5 includes a short vocabulary. Approx. 30.5cmX20cm.

The manuscript is a full English translation of the Satipatṭhāna Sutta. Written in Gogerly's hand, probably in Sri Lanka (Ceylon); date unknown. Translated from Pāli (written in the Sinhalese script) or Sinhalese. 32 pages; the the remaining 25 pages of the notebook are left blank. The manuscript contains the original text in the Sinhalese script, which is written on the left hand side pages. The sutta is one of the most important and widely studied discourses in the Pāli Canon of Theravada Buddhism, acting as the foundation for mindfulness meditational practice. 19.5cmX15.8cm.
