This book provides the open-sesame for all those who seek the treasures of knowledge, wisdom and beauty lying hidden in the Sanskrit classics.The Deva-nagari or Nagari character, in which the Sanskrit language is usually written, is adapted to the expression of nearly every gradation of sound ; and almost every letter has a fixed and invariable pronunciation . There are fourteen vowels and thirty-three simple consonants. To these may be added a nasal sign, standing for either true or substitute Anusvdra , and a sign for a hard breathing, called Visarga. They are here first exhibited in the order followed in dictionaries. All the vowels, excepting a, have two forms; the first is the initial, the second the medial or non-initial.

Monier-Williams, (1819 – 1899) KCIE was the second Boden Professor of Sanskrit at Oxford University, England. He studied, documented and taught Asian languages, especially Sanskrit, Persian and Hindustani. He taught Asian languages, at the East India Company College from 1844 until 1858, when company rule in India ended after the 1857 rebellion. He came to national prominence during the 1860 election campaign for the Boden Chair of Sanskrit at Oxford University, in which he stood against Max Müller. Müller was known for his liberal religious views and his philosophical speculations based on his reading of Vedic literature. Monier was seen as a less brilliant scholar, but had a detailed practical knowledge of India itself and of actual religious practices in modern Hinduism.
