War in Ancient India c6.s6.3

c6.s6.3

¹²⁸ There is not yet a single publication in India on the lines of Prof. A. Parmentier's 'Album Historique' published in four volumes under the direction of Ernest Louisse of the French Academy (Librarié Armand Colin, Paris, 1905). It is a study of the habits and customs, of arts and sciences, of weapons and ornaments, and of institutions of the age from the 4th to the 19th century A.D. For our purpose the attention of the reader can be directed to soldiers and cavalry warriors of Gaul clad in military attire on p. 2 of Volume I and of their different arms (Vol. I, pp. 4-5), and of the French military costume and implements (Vol. I, pp. 91 and 99), of the mediaeval customs of the 7th to the 15th century A.D. (p. 137) and of the battle scenes of England (pp. 172-73; see also pp. 196 ff.). This helps the comparative student of military history of the East to study Western institutions.
