The Dynasties of the Kanarese Districts of the Bombay Presidency from the Earliest Historical Times to the Musalman Conquest c8.s10.160

c8.s10.160

The publications noted above, the later volumes of the *Journal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society*, Dr. Burgess' *Archæological Reports of Western India*, two more books by Mr. Rice entitled *Inscriptions at Śravaṇa-Beḷgoḷa* and *Inscriptions in the Mysore District*, Part I., and the materials collected in the Bombay Presidency, have now made available a great deal of additional information, which it has been my aim to utilise. The constant pressure of official duties has prevented my including all the details that could be supplied from the unpublished materials now on hand. As far as is practicable, however, I have worked them in. And I am able to put forth this second version, of a work which was first issued thirteen years ago under much less favourable conditions and has now been rewritten practically throughout, with the satisfactory knowledge that it contains many substantial improvements, and will add very largely to our knowledge of the ancient history of that part of the country with which it deals.
