This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

The name of my Hindu friend is Bhima Gandharva. At the same time his name is not Bhima Gandharva. But -- for what is life worth if one may not have one's little riddle? -- in respect that he is not so named let him be so called, for thus will a pretty contradiction be accomplished, thus shall I secure at once his privacy and his publicity, and reveal and conceal him in a breath.
