**Professor A. B. Keith, d.c.l., d.litt.**—Of auxiliary sciences architecture has at last received expert treatment from Professor Prasanna Kumar Acharya in his *Dictionary of Hindu Architecture* and *Indian Architecture* based on a new text and rendering of the *Mānasāra*, for which the period of a.d. 500–700 is suggested. Striking similarities between the prescriptions of the Mānasāra and Vitruvius are unquestionably established.
