Dr. Prasanna Kumar Acharya, i.e.s., Professor of Sanskrit in the University of Allahabad, is now recognized as one of the leading Indian authorities on his special subject, particularly in its relation to ancient architecture. He has recently written, under instructions from the Government of the United Provinces, two books that should be of considerable value to students, namely *A Dictionary of Hindu Architecture* and *Indian Architecture according to Mānasāra Śilpa-śāstra*—both published by the Oxford University Press. The U. P. Government have borne the expenses of both publications, which will be regarded by scholars as a contribution of permanent importance in the elucidation of the subjects discussed.
