Ancient India e-bog

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. The first chapter deals with the early portion of Indian History, and so the title 'ancient India' has been given to the book. The other chapters deal with a variety of subjects, and are based on lectures given on different occa sions. One was originally prepared as my thesis for the ma. Degree Examination of the University of Madras. The favourable reception given to my early work by historical and oriental scholars encouraged me to put my researches into a more permanent form, which a liberal grant from the Madras School Book and Literature Society has enabled me to do.
