The text of this essay is taken from the author's typescript,
which is more accurate and complete than the published
version. Footnotes belonging to the original text are
indicated by letters. The author's later comments,
written in pencil on the typescript, are included as
numbered footnotes. Those numbered footnotes or parts thereof
which are in square brackets are editorial. 'Nibbána and
Anattá' first appeared in The Maha Bodhi, in two
parts. Part one appeared in the December 1953 issue, pp.
416-423, and included all of Part I and the opening section
of Part II, as far as 'What follows does not pretend to be
more than a tentative opinion: it is a suggestion rather than
a verdict.'
