under which they may be located for consultation. Where the titles of

I am thankful to Prof. Satbir Singh, M.A., who has persistently
followed up the suggestion for the publication of this Bibliography of the
Sikhs and Sikhism by the Sikh Itihas Research Board of the Shiromani
Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee, Amritsar. But for his and Master Sujan
Singh’s keen interest In It, It would not have, perhaps, been published for
a long time to come.
In the absence of diacritical marks available with the printers and
their omission to insert the names of non-English books and manuscripts
In their respective scripts in the space provided for the purpose, there
might be difficulty In correctly deciphering some of the names. But In
such cases reference may be made to A Bibliography of the Punjab
published by the Punjabi University, Patiala. That work is more
comprehensive and detailed than this.
For reasons beyond the control of the compiler, who had no hand in
reading the proofs, or, otherwise, in the production of the book, a large
number of mistakes, some of them inexcusable, have crept into it at the
printing stage. For them he 0ffers an apology on behalf of the publishers
and craves the indulgence of the reader.
