c4.4

Ten plates are appended to this work, the first five of which contain drawings carefully made by Mr. S. Banerjee, artist, under my supervision, from early Indian coin and seal-devices and sculptures; the last four plates are reproductions of the reverse figures of some coins and of a few seal-impressions. These mostly illustrate the fourth, fifth and the seventh chapters of my book. Figures 1, 2, 3 in plate No. VI illustrate my observations contained in the last chapter; figure 4 in the same plate shows the broad proportions of the height of a human body followed by modern artists of the West.
