Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, or the Central and Western Rajput States of India v1.c2.1

v1.c2.1

No one can undertake with a light heart the preparation of a new edition of Colonel Tod’s great work, *The Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan*. But the leading part which the Rājputs have taken in the Great War, the summoning of one of their princes to a seat at the Imperial Conference, the certainty that as the result of the present cataclysm they will be entitled to a larger share in the administration of India, have contributed to the desire that this classical account of their history and sociology should be presented in a shape adapted to the use of the modern scholar and student of Indian history and antiquities.
