This treatment is no doubt very useful and it enables the reader to trace the origin and development of the different institutions very clearly. It however does not give the picture of the whole administrative machinery from age to age. - [Previous: c4.9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.altekar-1949.c4.9) - [Next: c4.11](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.altekar-1949.c4.11) - [Up: c4](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.altekar-1949.c4) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.altekar-1949.c4.10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.altekar-1949.c4.10) · Pramāṇa
