The Age of the Imperial Guptas c2.1

c2.1

The following six lectures on the "Age of the Imperial Guptas" were delivered at the Hindu University by the late Prof. R. D. Banerji in November, 1924. Owing to his other preoccupations, Mr. Banerji was unable to take up the work of publishing his lectures till he eventually joined the Benares Hindu University as Manindra Chandra Nandy Professor of Ancient Indian History and Culture in 1928. The author revised the manuscript in 1929 and brought the work up-to-date. Five chapters of the book were also printed off when Mr. Banerji suddenly died in May, 1930, to the great regret of the learned world. Two proofs of the last chapter were seen by the author, but he did not live to give the print order.
