Cunningham's Ancient Geography of India c2.6

c2.6

I feel I shall be failing in my duty if I do not close this short preface on a more personal note. To the inspiration of two men I owe all the work that I have been able to do in the domain of Ancient Indian History—Mahâmahopâdhyâya Haraprasâd Sâstri and the late Sir Ashutosh Mukhopâdhyâya. Mahâmahopâdhyâya Sâstri is my *Guru* in the field of Indology; and it was the patronage and encouragement of the late Sir Ashutosh which enabled me to carry on the research-work the results of which are embodied here. My most heart-felt thanks are due to them both. And I am only sorry that Sir Ashutosh has not lived to see the completion of this work.
