Ideals of Indian Art

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Indian Art has now obtained a far wider te cognition and a fuller understanding than it had when the first edition of Ideals of Indian Art was published. If it has not yet become a sub ject Of general interest for the public, it is now treated more or less respectfully by our national museums: several able Indian writers have made valuable contributions to it, and European art critics, who before avoided it Or gave it scant consideration, have become its appreciative ex ponents. I have not, however, foimd it necessary to revise the passages in this book which relate to Opinions current at the time-when it was first published, as my readers can easily mark the differences between then and now for them selves. Except for a few necessary corrections and additional notes the text remains unaltered.
