Excerpt from Lectures on the Ancient History of India: On the Period From 650 to 325 B. C

It is scarcely necessary for me to add that the subject of the Ancient Indian History and Culture is a progressive one, and with every additional studv and find of new materials some of the conclusions previously drawn are likely to be modified. And, as a matter of fact, as this book is reaching its completion, I myself am aware that I now hold somewhat different views on one or two matters dealt with in these Lectures. Similarly, though no effort has been spared to ensure accuracy and fullness, I do not expect this book to be by any means free from defects. But I request my readers not to play the role of a cattlelouse described in the well-known Sanskrit verse} but rather to confine their attention to the good points only, if there be any, in these Lectures, and thus help to carry forward the torch of research work to illumine the dark periods of Ancient Indian History.
