Dear Heiner,
almost all of these old Indian books held by the British Museum are now
in the British Library. Contact the Asian & African Studies Reference
Team, they are very helpful.

Once they identify the book in their collection, it is easy to order a
scan of it.
Best,
Lubomir

Dear listmembers,
DEVADŪTE is a small Sinhalese poem of 44 verses that narrates the pains
in the 136 Buddhist hells. It has only 8 pp. and was printed 1870 in
Colombo. I found only the following reference to this book in the
British Museum Catalogue of Sinhalese Books (by Wikremasinghe) p. 56b:
8°. 14165. h. 3.(8.).
Does anyone know how I can order a copy from there? On the website of
the British Museum I just got lost.
Thank you for any assistance
Heiner
