Bereik en inhoud
Letter from Christopher Gimson to RAS Secretary, declining to review ‘A Short History of Manipuri’, feeling that he is ‘too ignorant of most of the subjects discussed in it’. He encloses some comments he made on the book which may indicate how help could be given to emerging Manipuri scholars (not with the letter).
