c4.3

The author who is the Honorary Secretary of our Society has himself previously touched upon the subject of "Dravidian Sculpture" (*Modern Review*, January 1912) and "South Indian Portrait-sculpture (*Ibid*, January 1915). He now follows it up with the present work in which he has collected materials for the study of South Indian Bronzes and has made for the first time a survey of this branch of the wide-spreading Indian aesthetic field. His study of Shaivite sculpture is based on original sources, namely three Sanskrit manuscripts dealing with the Sculptors’ canons—*Kasyapiya*, *Agastiya*, and *Bramhiya* which are still unpublished and have not been utilised by any previous writer.
