International Weekly Journal of Science

Title: International Encyclopaedia of Mythology

“ An amazing mythology collection. I suppose … there is still nothing to equal this fantastic achievement.

Title: A History of Hindu Chemistry

“ ‘The History of Hindu Chemistry’ is one of the rare, important books published in twentieth century. Sir Prafulla Chandra Ray has contributed greatly to the field of Rasashastra in his own style. The book has achieved international recognition. The work became the cause of enlightening people they were till then unaware of. In a way, ‘globalization’ of the concepts of Rasashastra has its starting point in the works of Sir P.C.Ray. The author has touched almost every area of Rasashastra of course, from the standpoint of modern Chemistry.” — U.S. National Library of Medicine, USA National Center for Biotechnology Information,

Title: Evolution of Law

“…volumes are a pioneering attempt to present readers enough material, original and secondary, to enable them to form an idea not only of the vastness of the field attempted to be covered, but of the great principle of unity in diversity which a study of comparative or ethnological jurisprudence brings to light. … Every student should consider his legal education unfinished if he has failed to devote time … to the consideration of that field of legal thought which is presented in these splendid volumes. … to be congratulated.”. — David Werner Amram, in the University of Pennsylvania Law Review

Of these, 29 were for murder, 23 for robbery and like offences, and 13 for lesser offences such as forgery, assault, attempted bribery and prostitution.”. — Bruce Macfarlane, Manitoba and Alberta Bars, Professional Affiliate, Faculty of Law, University of Manitoba, formerly Deputy Attorney General of Manitoba

Title: The Craft of Fiction
