Newar ethnography, Buddhist deities, geography and routes to Peking
- Scope & Content:
-
Although this volume was entitled ethnography and topography during its binding in the 1920s, the items included do not fully match the title. The so-called ethnography section includes Hodgson's very general description of the Newars but on the reverse of some of the folios, there is also material on Buddhist texts and deities under the title "Buddha Scriptures of Nepal" (ff. 74b-63b). The third section of this volume is a general geographical account of Nepal, while the fourth and final sections exclusively cover routes to Tibet and Peking. All items in this volume were written in four pre-bound notebooks, in most cases with a Nepali title and the original shipment number in the Nepali language and script on the cover pages of each.
