Calcutta for the M.A. Examinations in English writes;--_
I have looked over Babu Ramanath Dutt's Ramayana. The English is
simple and idiomatic. The story is given in an interesting manner.
The style & language are, I think, well-suited for Matriculation
students.

Calcutta; University Lecturer in Philosophy and Examiner to the
University of Calcutta writes:--_
I have looked through the M. S. of _Boy's Ramayan_ by Ramanath
Dutta and am of opinion that it is written in a very aggreable
style. It is exactly suited to the capacity of Matriculation
students. Its chief characteristics are a very simple style and an
interesting manner of relating stories. I feel free to say, that
its study will go a long way towards familiarising boys in our
schools with simple idiomatic English.

College, Calcutta & Examiner to the University of Calcutta for the
Matriculation Examinations in English; Late Professor of English
Literature, Muir Central College, Allahabad writes:--_
I have looked carefully through the pages of the "Boy's Ramayan."
Mr. Dutt has written his book with commendable care making it one
eminently adapted to the needs of Matriculation students. His
language is simple clear & idiomatic and his style of narrative
bright and entertaining. I feel confident that boys would read such
a book over and over again, for the mere pleasure which its perusal
afforded them. Were I in charge of a School, I should have no
hesitation in including so delightful a work among the text books
in English.

"The Boy's Ramayana" by Mr R. N. Dutt and Prof. Headland is a
well-written book. The style is simple and correct. I have every
reason to believe that the book is very well-suited to the capacity
of Matriculation students.
