The Ancient and Medieval Architecture of India: A Study of Indo-Aryan Civilisation c2.6

c2.6

I have to acknowledge the valuable assistance rendered me by the Secretary of State for India in granting me permission to use illustrations from official publications. In etymological questions Professor T. W. Rhys Davids and Mr. F. W. Thomas have freely given me the aid of their accomplished scholarship. Dr. J. H. Marshall, C.I.E. (Director-General of the Archæological Survey of India), Mr. Abanindro Nath Tagore, C.I.E., Mr. Nanda Lal Bose, M. Victor Goloubeff and the Editor of *L’Art Decoratif*, Paris, have helped me much with the illustrations. I am indebted to Mr. Ratan Tata for placing at my disposal reports on the excavations now in progress on the site of Pâtaliputra, and to Mr. Murray for allowing me the use of blocks from Fergusson’s works. Messrs. Johnston & Hoffmann, Calcutta, have permitted me to reproduce one of their copyright negatives, and I have to thank Mr. J. Marshall for some useful references.
