My particular obligations are due to my tutor Prof. H. J. Laski and other teachers with whom I studied Sociology, Political Science and Public Administration for nearly three years at the London School of Economics and Political Science. To Prof. A. B. Keith I am indebted for a Foreword. Prof. Teresa Joseph of Queen Mary's College, Madras, kindly re-touched the draft of several chapters and made useful suggestions. Prof. A. A. Macdonell and Dr. L. D. Barnett were pleased to favour me with criticism of the earlier chapters. Kṣetreśa Chandra Chaṭṭopādhyāya of the Sanskrit Department, University of Allāhābād, was always ready to solmy difficulties with Sanskrit and Pāli texts. Mr. Lakshmi Lal Joshi, M.A., LL.B., made some useful suggestion. Messrs. Banarasi Prasad Saksena, M.A., and Bisheshar Prasad Srivastava, M.A., of the University History Department sacrificed their time and comfort to see the book through the press. It is only fair to state that the responsibility for the omission of many diacritical signs, particularly in the earlier chapters, and for some misprints and errors rests neither with them nor with the press. They were due mainly to the exigencies of the writer's wandering life. The Index has been compiled by Mr. Rama Shankar Prasad, M.A. - [Previous: c3.1](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.prasad-1927.c3.1) - [Next: c3.3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.prasad-1927.c3.3) - [Up: c3](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.prasad-1927.c3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.prasad-1927.c3.2](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.polity.prasad-1927.c3.2) · Pramāṇa
