Second edition, 4to, pp. 175, [1]; illustrated throughout, much in color; fine copy in a fine dust jacket. "This volume is the fruit of visits paid to the troubled peninsula of Indo-China and to Ceylon during 1960 and 1961, when the road to Pagan, in particular, was already beset with obstacles which have since made the fabulous City of Pagodas' almost inaccessible. The great classical cultures of Ceylon, Burma and Cambodia were united, for all their individuality and diversity, by a common bond: their spiritual allegiance to the same fountainhead. It was India, at the apogee of her glory and ranking with China and Rome as the great centres of world culture of the time that brought the flame of civilization to all three areas and imposed the indelible stamp of her religious, philosophical, technical and artistic heritage. This she achieved not through force but by voluntary acceptance of her manifestly superior gifts on the part of eager and apt pupils. In each country an initial period of 'Indianization', which tended inevitably merely to mirror the parent culture, gradually evolved in a distinctive manner and finally burst into a spectacular flowering of the national genius, amply attested to by the noble ruins of each of the capital cities, those of Ceylon and Burma being almost unknown in the West" (jacket blurb).…
