Horace Geoffrey Quaritch Wales [1900-1981] was Field Director of the Greater-India Research Committee. He was educated at Charterhouse School and Queen's College Cambridge. He immediately embarked on a career in Southeast Asia, entering the service of the Siamese Government where he was an adviser to King Rama VI and King Rama VII from 1924-1928. The book at hand is based on two archaeological expeditions which he made in 1934-35 and 1936. In the first, he investigated the overland route by which Indian influence spread to the Pacific Ocean. In the second, he discovered vestiges of the original Hindu art which culminated in Angkor.
