REVISED LISTS OF ANTIQUARIAN REMAINS IN THE BOMBAY PRESIDENCY

About the book:-The author reveals that the Lists of the Antiquarian Remains in the Bombay Presidency, Sindh and Berar contained in this volume have been prepared in compliance with the orders of the Government of India. Owing to frequent interruptions they have been for a long time in the press, and are not of equal merit throughout. But in most cases the materials have been supplied by subordinate district officers, always hard-wrought, and but rarely with any very clear ideas what exactly should be entered and what omitted from their returns. Those returns were mostly made in tabular form; but to have printed them in this form would have been a work of needless extra expense and bulk. In preparing the Lists from such returns he has had often to deal with most untraceable materials. A constantly recurring entry was, “The temple consists of stones placed one upon another. Where two returns for the same place were available, their satisfactoriness became most palpable; one described a temple of Mailarlinga. A temple at Kagine is six hundred years old. Fortunately, some of the returns were creditable, and personal knowledge and references to the higher officers have supplied many details. The inscriptions given from various places are not critically edited, but are simply copied from the returns. The book is the product of extensive study and research of these lists which makes a clear narrative to meet the want.
