Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
This is the reprint of the great original work originally published in 1916, which is now not available except as a rare edition of great value. The set is released in the original format. The first two volumes contain text besides Appendices and Inscriptions. Volume three contains 505 large pictures of geographical and historical description, while volume four contains 200 plates of antiquities, arts and other objects found during the expeditions. Volume five has large size maps of surveys.
From the Author
The finds and relics of my extensive explorations include antiquities, silk paintings, manuscript remains in Sanskrit and Prakrit, Kharoshti Documents, ancient textiles, remains of the prehistoric pottery and porclain, Coins, tapestries, stone implements, Chinese paintings found in tombs and caves. I have also narrated geographical and anthropological details of the region. It proves to the present day scholars the fact that the growth and development of civilisation had a very close link between China and India on the one hand, and between China to Mongolia, Russian Turkistan, Pamirs, Kashgar and upper Oxus down to Bokhara and Samarkand on the other hand.
