When about a year ago a course of lectures on South Indian History was instituted at the Maharaja s College, the authors of this monograph undertook the teaching of the subject in addition to their other studies; and both of them devoted the summer recess of 1921 to investigations, the results of which are now placed before the public. The history of Jainism in South India and its influence on the life and thought of the people is a fascinating subject. As the authors themselves point out, all the materials for a final verdict are not yet available and the conclusions reached can only be tentative and provisional. This, however, does not detract from the value of this study which opens out a most interesting field of thought and will, it is hoped, stimulate further research. I congratulate the authors on the monograph and trust that it will be followed in the near future by studies of other aspects of South Indian Civilisation. ViZIANAGRAM, 30th SepL 1922. jV.
