The first honour of discovery of these records so important to the study of Indian History goes to Padre Tieffenthaler who found a few fragments of the Delhi Pillar at the city of Delhi as early as 1750 or thereabout. In the year 1785 the Barābar and Nagarjuni Hill caves were visited for the first time by J. H. Harington. The next stage was when Captain Polier had the privilege of discovering the Delhi-Topra Pillar Inscription. Some of these discoveries were published in the *Asiatic Researches* in 1801.
