A History of Fine Art in India and Ceylon, from the Earliest Times to the Present Day c3.4

c3.4

The illustrations, mostly from photographs, include a large number never before published, many which have appeared only in publications of very limited circulation, and some which are necessarily hackneyed. Bibliographical Notes are inserted as required, and a comprehensive Index has been prepared. It has not appeared desirable to cumber the text with diacritical marks, but long vowels are marked where necessary as a guide to pronunciation. Consonants may be pronounced as in English. Short *a* with stress is pronounced like *u* in *but*, e. g. *Chandra* is pronounced *Chundră*; the short *a* without stress being an indistinct vowel like the *A* in *America*. Other vowels are to be pronounced as in Italian; e. g. *Mīr* is pronounced *Meer*, and *Yūsuf* is pronounced *Yoosuf*. *E* and *o* are long, whether marked or not. *Au* is pronounced *ow*, as in *Kanauj* = *Kănowj*.
