The translator is a complete lay-woman where medicine is concerned. Latin and English names owe their origin to the court physician; but many others where uncertainty occurs, have, necessarily, to be left in their Vernacular form. This manuscript is very tender, and it is possible it may not last many years longer. Translated from the original very old Hindi into Gujarati character and thence into English. The original manuscript is very ancient and in tender shape. It was written in a peculiar form of Hindi. Many of the medicines, especially the ointments, used with our modern antiseptics appear worth a trial. The wise should study the verses, and look on them with a favorable eye rather than with the look of a caviling critic. The book is the product of extensive study of this topic. The subject matter is good and interesting and also very useful.

Elizabeth Amelia Sharp (1856–1932) was a critic, editor and writer, and married to the Scottish writer, William Sharp also known by his pseudonym Fiona MacLeod. In 1885, Elizabeth and William travelled to Oxford first and then to Scotland where, in July, they rented a cottage at Loch Tarbert. In 1887, the Sharps moved from their West Kensington flat to a larger house in South Hampstead which they rented for three years and called Wescam. In late 1887, Elizabeth brought William to the Isle of Wight to recover from inflammation of the lungs. From 1888 the Sharps held Sunday evening 'at homes' for their literary and artistic circle at Wescam. In August 1888, Elizabeth and William went to Scotland for nearly three months visiting family. In July 1889 Elizabeth accompanied Mona Caird to Valdes in the Carpathian Mountains.
