INTRODUCTION

The following bibliographical note may be useful, though it does not claim to be by any means a complete list of the books on the subject: 1.     Lushnu Anban, Svanetskaya Azbulca. Tiflis, 1804. Published by the Society for the Propagation of Christianity in the Caucasus. Baron Uslar is believed to be its author. It is still a most useful book to a student of the language, but copies are rare. Among its merits may be mentioned the Georgian translation of every word, as well as the Russian. It gives several specimens of the language in the form of prayers, Bible history, and a few phrases. 2.     Vol. X of Sbornik materialov dlya opisaniya Kavkaza_t containing four lists of words collected by I. Nizharadze (himself a Svanetian), M. Zavadskii, A. Stoyanov, and A. Gren; the systems of transliteration employed are inconsistent and irritating. There are also ethnographical, statistical, and other sketches, folk-tales, folk-songs with music, etc. 3. The Proceedings (Trudy) of the Fifth Archaeological Congress, Tiflis, 1881, with an article by A.
