The Early History of India, from 600 B.C. to the Muhammadan Conquest, including the Invasion of Alexander the Great c2.1

c2.1

THE task of revising this history for a fourth edition was entrusted to me in accordance with the wish of the author, who realized that he would not be spared to complete the work himself. For one who has not devoted the greater portion of a lifetime to careful study of the problems involved, the task has been by no means easy. Fortunately, however, I was furnished with notes on various points recorded by Dr. Vincent A. Smith before his death; and with these and the help of reports, papers and essays on Indian history and antiquities, which have appeared in various publications since 1914, I have endeavoured to the best of my ability to bring the work up to date.
