Indian Epigraphy c2.5

c2.5

Parts of the present book had been written before I left the post of Government Epigraphist for India in the Epigraphical Branch of the Department of Archaeology, Government of India, about the middle of 1961, and I am happy to record my feelings of gratitude to the members of the Branch for the help they rendered me in various ways. My thanks are due to Dr. S.K. Maity of the University of Jadavpur, who prepared the Index with the assistance of his pupils. I am also grateful to the Department of Archaeology for the photographs that have been used for illustrating the volume as well as to the authorities of the periodicals in which a few of its sections appeared either in English or in translation.
