Antiquities of India - Lionel D Barnett

Excerpt from Antiquities of India: An Account of the History and Culture of Ancient Hindustan
Sir Aurel Stein, Dr. Hoernle, and Messrs. J. Allan, F. H. Andrews, M. Longworth Dames, T. A. Joyce, and F. E. Pargiter. To Sir Aurel Stein's offices I am indebted for the permission kindly granted by the Secretary of State for India to reproduce some of the plates from ancient X/wtan; and in the same con nection I have to record the courtesy of Messrs. W. Griggs 8: Co., who lent me the negatives of those plates, and of the Clarendon Press. Lastly, I would offer my thanks to the India Society and its secretary, Mr. A. H. Fox-strangways, who have generously allowed me to reproduce as a frontispiece one of their copies of the paintings of Ajanta, which forms part of a set that they are about to publish.
