Dear Scholars,
     Namaste.
     Is there any soft copy of the "Betal Panchabingshati" (1847) by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar ?

PS: I thought this edition was a translation from the original Sanskrit text. But later came to know that this was not the case (pl. see the attached pic.)

Narayan ji,
This link -  https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.242353/page/n5  - suggests the author to be JIvananda Vidyasagar Bhattacharya. Was this another name for Ishvarchand Vidyasagar?

Thanks,

Shashi ji,
    No, the book I was looking for was published by Ishwar Chandra Vidyasagar in Bengali in 1847. I gave the link of the site also providing such information.
    The purpose was to see his preface, if any, to know the history of publication of this book.
    Thanks and regards. Narayan Prasad.

The first critical edition of वेताल पञ्चविंशति in Sanskrit in the devanagari script was edited by N.A. Gore and published from Poona in 1952.

He has mentioned also the version prepared and published by Pt Jibananda Vidyasagara from Calcutta in 1873.

Its 2nd edition came out in 1907. 

The 3rd edition of 1924 also contains meanings of certain terms as footnotes which are useful for students.
