Translated from Pali by Wilhelm Geiger

First edition of these Books from Library of Mudliyar P. D. Ratnatunga (1881-1976) who was for many years Honorary Secretary of the Colombo Branch of the Pali Text Society.
They have been scanned in 2004 May by the Million Book project (MBP) of the CMU Universal Library (ULIB)
The scans will be sent to Distributed Proof-readers (PGDP) which is an official part of Project Gutenberg. (PG): A Free Public Library and archive of digital eBooks.

I am working with the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Washington to clear copyright on thes books for submission to Project Gutenberg. These were published under the patronage of the Government of Ceylon and it is over 60 years since Geiger's death in 1943.
