Excerpt from Catalogue of the Coins in the Indian Museum, Calcutta, Including the Cabinet of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. 1: Part II, Ancient Coins of Indian TypesAlthough the coins known as 'punch-marked' are rude and ugly, bear no legends, cannot be precisely dated, and, as a rule, are not assignable to any particular State or locality, they possess very special claims on the interest of the scientific numismatist, as documents in the...

Excerpt from Asoka, the Buddhist Emperor of IndiaA volume on Asoka Maurya by Professor Rhys Davids was intended to be the first of the Rulers of India series, but unfortunately circumstances pre vented the fulfilment of that intention, and the series was closed leaving vacant the niche destined for the great Buddhist emperor.

Excerpt from Akbar, the Great Mogul: 1542-1605The other authorities for the reign of Akbar are surprisingly numerous and copious, a large number being contemporary. The subject is of so much interest from many points of view that it is astonishing that nobody in any country has yet thought it worthy of serious critical treatment. The one German attempt at such treatment is so defective that its existence does not invalidate the statement that ...

Excerpt from The Oxford Student's History of India The three earlier revisions of this book were directed almost exclusively to the correction of minute inaccuracies, the paging and bulk of the volume remaining unaltered. On this occasion, while the process of minute correction has been continued and possibly completed, the principal purpose of the revision has been different. When the book was first planned, I was requested to make it small ...
