Item description from seller

Language: ENGLISH. About the book:-The authors have made a noble attempt to explore new avenues in Inscriptions from the Cave-Temples. The descriptive notes in this memorandum were prepared in February 1880, and are necessarily fragmentary, as being supplementary to the information in The Cave Temples of India, and chiefly intended to preserve additional notes which have either come to hand since that work was sent to the press, or which could not conveniently be wrought into it. In several cases their object is chiefly to indicate distinctly the position of each inscription.The inscriptions from the various caves have been prepared by the authors, as explained in the text. The impressions of the Kuda inscriptions taken by the Archaeological Survey in 1877-78. It is the first time that any large collection of the cave inscriptions has been made in one paper. From the abraded and fragmentary character of many of these inscriptions, it will be understood that the translations are to a certain extent only tentative. They suggest many points of interest which must be discussed elsewhere: it has been the main object to supply the materials for such discussion from the later Maurya period about B.C. 200 to the 7th century A.D. The book contains numerous plates to make it more interesting in the context of the inscriptions from the Cave-Temples of Western India. About the author:-James Burgess CIE FRSE FRGS MRAS LLD (1832 1916), was the founder of The Indian Antiquary in 1872 and an important archaeologist of India in the 19th century.
