These articles deal with over a dozen Granthas and give enough information which makes it quite easy to understand them. Some portion of this book has already appeared in print in "Sangeeta" the Journal of the Morris College of Hindustani Music, Lucknow. But unfortunately the journal having ceased to appear after the fifth issue the rest of this book remained unpublished until the late Mr. Bhalchandra Sitaram Sukthankar the editor and publisher of the Kramik Pustak Malika thought of bringing the whole series out into a book form. This volume was half way through the press when unfortunately Mr. Sukthankar fell ill and died in April 1940. The printing was taken up again a few months ago. Coming, as it is, from the pen of the foremost authority on the subject, it need hardly be added that this book will prove a very interesting and enlightening study.
