_Rai Bahadur Rasamaya Mitra M. A. Head Master Hindu School, Calcutta, the premier School of Bengal writes_

"The Boy's Ramayana" by Mr R. N. Dutt and Prof. Headland is a
well-written book. The style is simple and correct. I have every
reason to believe that the book is very well-suited to the capacity
of Matriculation students.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

_The Amrita Bazar Patrika in its issue of January 2, 1911 writes:--_

"The Boy's Ramayana"--The book is the only one we know of dealing
with the subject of Ramayana in English suitable for school boys.
It is written in simple and idiomatic English. We recommend the
Universities and school committees to adopt it as a text-book.

_The Indian Mirror in its issue of January 17, 1911 reviews the book thus:--_

A book, called "The Boy's Ramayana", would be a suitable text-book
for Entrance candidates. The language is easy and naturally flowing
and the style idiomatic and interesting.

_The Bengalee in its issue of March 4, 1911 says:--_

The author has given the story of Valmiki's immortal Epic in
elegant and idiomatic English and his mode of narration is highly
interesting. We are confident that the work under notice is
pre-eminently suited to the capacity of Matriculation students of
Indian Universities.
