On the whole, it is only the edition that will enable us to form an opinion about these many questions raised by the author. But even now we are very much indebted to him, and particularly his *Dictionary* will be very welcome. It gives not only a copious list of technical terms of architecture more especially those to be found in the *Mānasāra*, but also circumstantial references to the literature as well as a survey of the indigenous Indian literature relative to the matter, which is for the greatest part only available in MSS.
