The Early History of India From 600 B. C. To the Muhammadan Conquest: Including the Invasion of Alexander the Great
Excerpt from The Early History of India From 600 B. C. To the Muhammadan Conquest: Including the Invasion of Alexander the Great
The presentation of cumbrous and unfamiliar Oriental names must always be a difficulty for a writer on Indian history. I have endeavoured to secure reasonable uniformity of spelling without pedantry. The system of transliteration followed in the notes and appendices is substantially that used in the Indian Antiquary; while in the text long vowels only are marked where necessary, and all other diacritical signs are discarded.
