About the book:- During the years spent on duty at the Courts of Udaipur and Bikaner, the author devoted his attention to the subject of the coinage in the Native States of Rajputana. The information derived from personal observation, from the study of his unique collection of coins of the Province, from correspondence with brother-officers serving under the Indian Foreign Office, and with many friends among the Princes and the officials at their Courts. It must be evident to those who consider the matter that the subjects of the Native Princes are at present labouring under great disadvantages in regard to the currency question, when compared with the people of India who are living directly under the rule of the Queen-Empress. The amount of local coin circulating in the Rajput States is very large, and is, in most cases, the collection of a century or longer. The composition of the coins in an issue of these States is in most cases variable. This is to be expected, as the pay of the mint officials is poor, and consequently there is a temptation to issue coins of an inferior quality to the authorised standards. In that respect it is an invaluable book for anybody who is a coin collector. It is illustrated with 12 plates of coins and a map showing the mint towns in Rajputana. The coins of 16 Hindu states of Rajputana are described vividly and discussed. About the author:-William Wilfrid Webb was born in 1858. He was the citizens of England and Ireland.
