Bibliographical Note

BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

ESSAYS ON THE GITA first appeared in the Arya in two series — from August 1916 to July 1918 and from August 1918 to July 1920. The first series was revised and published in book form in 1922, 1926, 1937,1944 and 1949 and the second series in 1928, 1942, 1945 and 1949. The Sri Aurobindo Library, New York, published both these series in a one-volume edition in 1950. The Sri Aurobindo Inter- national Centre of Education edition, also in one volume, was published in 1959 and reprinted in 1966. The present edition in the SRI AUROBINDO BIRTH CENTENARY LIBRARY, thoroughly checked, is the ninth in sequence.
