on the peculiarities of the language, which in the older masters would
more properly be called old Maithila than Bengali. It is nearly
identical with the language still spoken in Tirhut, the ancient
Mithili, and in Munger and Bhagalpur, the ancient Magadha, than modern

its surplus population in Bengal, and it is not only philologically
obvious that Bengali is nothing more than a further, and very modern
development of the extreme eastern dialect of Hindi. All these
considerations, however, I hope still further to develop at some future
time.
