BOOK SUMMARY OF A HISTORY OF INDIAN PHILOSOPHY (VOL. 1) (SURENDRANATH DASGUPTA)
The Practical difficulties in calculating dates mentioned in inscriptions or in
the colophons to manuscripts are considerable. Among the books offering help to
historians and editors alike, in the works of R. Sewell stand out as excellent
introductions to this intricate subject. The book reprinted here was first
published in 1897. However, in spite of its age, The Indian Calendar has
retained its usefulness for the benefit of scholars working on the chronology of
Ancient India.
