History of Kanauj to the Moslem Conquest c3.4

c3.4

The Volume substantially represents my Thesis, which was approved by the University of London in 1929 for the Degree of Ph. D. It could not be sent to the press so long on account of pressure of University duties and other unavoidable circumstances. The delay has, however, in a way been to my advantage, for it has enabled me to bring the work up-to-date, and to improve and revise it carefully in the light of the guidance given by the distinguished Board of Examiners. I take this opportunity of offering my respectful thanks to Dr. L. D. Barnett, M.A., D.LITT., Mr. J. Allan, M.A., and Professor H. H. Dodwell, M.A., for their valuable suggestions. To Dr. L. D. Barnett, I am particularly indebted for writing a Foreword to this book. Further, I owe special acknowledgments to such scholars as have illumined my path by their contributions on any topic dealt with here. My thanks are also due to my wife, Hemavati Devi, for occasional help in preparing the Index.
