Later, Carey discusses charts which measure populations through the world and their religious beliefs.

Have a look at the world through the eyes of an artist...viewing it through a prism of art and haiku. Curious and eccentric, this book covers a wide range of subjects from romance to philosophy. It has over 100 haiku and 50 illustrations. It is easy to read with unusual words defined at the bottom of the page. Haiku, is a seventeen syllable Japanese verse form, that began in 17th century Japan. It is a very spontaneous process that distills thoughts and observations down to their essence. You may be inspired to write some of your own. The art in this book is just as spontaneous. Many of the initial sketches were done in coffee houses, then they were finished in the studio. In many cases, the art and haiku have been combined into an illustrated/haiku form. The main purpose of this book is to entertain. So, enjoy. Every time you pick it up, you may find new insights into these poems.

Marathi, an official language of Maharashtra and Goa, is among the twenty most widely spoken languages in the world. The southernmost Indo-Aryan language, it is also spoken in Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, and Daman and Diu, and is believed to be over 1,300 years old, with its origins in Sanskrit. First published in 1805, this grammar of Marathi (then known as Mahratta) was compiled by the Baptist missionary William Carey (1761-1834) during his time in India. Its purpose was to assist Carey's European students at Fort William College in their learning of the language, and it is comprehensive in ITS coverage, providing numerous examples. Containing detailed descriptions of Marathi's Devanagari alphabet, its word and sentence formation, and its complex tense, voice, gender, agreement, inflection, and case systems, the work remains an invaluable resource for linguists today. Carey's 1810 dictionary of Marathi is also reissued in this series.
