In short Indian ntiquary, as envisaged by the visionary Burgess was journal entirely devoted to the study of MN-he Indian-in all the spheres of activities of his day to day life, past and present. In fact it covered the broad spectrum of subjects what we today study in archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, epigraphy, numismatics, linguistics etc. hus Indian ntiquary formed a cultural bridge as it were between the ast and West. Yet the articles and notices, these several volumes of Indian ntiquary carry are ever fresh and are of utmost importance to any researcher in Indology, History, pigraphy, and rchaeology as an invaluable work of reference. It is also a sad state that most of the Indian ibraries do not possess a complete set and even where they are available, the volumes have become fragile and brittle and cannot be used without causing irreparable damage. It was to alleviate the distressed indologists and to aid them that the present venture has been taken to reprint all the volumes of Indian ntiquary in a phased manner. his work is a treasure for students and scholars, and those interested in knowing India in general and Indology, History, pigraphy and rchaeology in particular; and for all university, college and other libraries of in India and abroad. 35
