About This Item
London: Sidgwick & Jackson, 1954. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. The book is very clean throughout and has only some light foxing to the page edges of note. The jacket Has some closed tears and very minor chipping. The work treats of the history and culture of India from the early civilisation of the Indus Valley down to the coming of the Muslims, and is perhaps more comprehensive than any other single-volume work of its kind hitherto published in English, covering all aspects of ancient Indian life and thought both in the Aryan North and the Dravidian South.
