While I was preparing my \*Select Inscriptions bearing on Indian History and Civilisation\* on behalf of the University of Calcutta nearly twenty-five years back, it was also my aspiration to write an introductory volume dealing with Indian epigraphy and palaeography. But the subjects appeared to me so vast and complicated that I soon became doubtful about my competence to undertake it. - [Previous: c1.79](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c1.79) - [Next: c2.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.2) - [Up: c2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.epigraphy.sircar-1965.c2.1) · Pramāṇa
