Excerpt from Antiquities of India: An Account of the History and Culture of Ancient HindustanIn preparing the chronolo I have drawn chie¿y upon the documentary materiafycollected in Epigraphia Indica, the Gnronology of India of Mrs. Rickmers, and Mr. V. A. Smith's Early History of India, besides other works. On the subject of architecture, sculp ture, and painting, the student may be referred to the works of F ergusson (especially the History of Indian and Eastern Arcnitectnre, and edition, I 9 io), the pub lications of the Archaeological Survey of India, Mr. V. A. Smith's History of Fine Art in India and Ceylon, and the books of Sir M. Aurel Stein and the German explorers to whom the sands of Turkestan have yielded up their long-buried treasures. As regards the remain ing chapters, i am heavily indebted to the indo-a rise/ten Pnilologie and Altcrtttntsknnde, founded by Georg Biihler and now edited by Professors Liiders and Wackernagel, in which the student will find full biblio graphies. My obligations naturally go far beyond the works in this list, In fact, I know not the numbers thereof.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
