Excerpt from The A B C of Indian Art The Old arts and manufactures of India deserve much higher appreciation than we have hitherto bestowed upon them. It may appear almost incredible that we Should have remained ignorant until quite recent times Of the existence of many Of these arts, and of the perfection to which others had been brought among that wonderful people Of the East whom many of us had been in the habit of regarding as little better than barbarians, for getting that they were civilised just as early as were the nations Of Egypt and Persia. The physical features Of their country favoured early civilisation. Great plains, guarded by giant mountains, watered by magnificent rivers, furnished fertile soil from which abundance of food could be secured in a climate favourable to its production. The country was rich in metallic treasures. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Ideals of Indian Art 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. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Indian Painting Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true. Whatsoever things are honourable, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things. No section of the population of India can afford to neglect her ancient heritage. In her literature, philosophy, art, and regulated life there is much that is worthless, much also that is distinctly unhealthy; yet the treasures of knowledge, wisdom, and beauty which they contain are too precious to be lost. Every citizen Of India needs to use them, if he is to be a cultured modern Indian. This is as true Of the Christian, the Muslim, the Zoroastrian as of the Hindu. But, while the heritage of India has been largely explored by scholars, and the results of their toil are laid out for us in their books, they cannot be said to be really available for the ordinary man. The volumes are in most cases expensive, and are often technical and difficult. Hence this series of cheap books has been planned by a group of Christian men, in order that every educated Indian, Whether rich or poor, may be able to find his way into the treasures of India's past. Many Europeans, both in India and elsewhere, will doubtless be glad to use the series. The utmost care is being taken by the General Editors in selecting writers, and in passing manuscripts for the press. TO every book two tests are rigidly applied: every thing must be scholarly, and everything must be sympathetic. The purpose is to bring the best out of the ancient treasuries, so that it may be known, enjoyed, and used.

Excerpt from The Arts and Crafts of India and Ceylon That the work is divided into two parts, the first concerned with Hindu and Buddhist art, the latter with the Musulman arts, is solely to facilitate an un derstanding of their historical relations and psycho logical development: I do not forget that in almost every art and craft, as also in music, there exists in Hindustan a complete and friendly fusion of the two cultures. The non-sectarian character of the styles of Indian art has indeed always been conspicuous; so that it is often only by special details that one can distinguishjain from Buddhist st pas, Buddhist from Hindu sculpture, or the Hindu from the Musulmz'm minor crafts. The one great distinction of Mughal from Hindu art is not so much racial as social; the former is an art of courts and connoisseurs, owing much to individual patronage, the latter belongs as' much to the folk as to the kings.

Excerpt from Essays on Indian Art, Industry Education The various Essays on Indian Art, Industry, and Education which are here reprinted, though mostly written some years ago, all deal with questions which continue to possess a living interest. The superstitions which they attempt to dispel still loom largely in popular imagination, and the reforms they advocate still remain to be carried out. Only last year Sir Henry Craik, M. P., in his book on India, revived the familiar Anglo-Indian legend that the Taj Mahal was the creation of a European architect. Hardly any serious attempt has been made in the last twenty-five years to make the departmental machinery of Government effective for the revival of Indian art and handicraft. Officialism in the Calcutta University has lately barred the way to further progress in art education over-riding the deliberate vote of the majority of the members of the Senate. Swadeshi politicians, with regard to India's industrial problems, have been content to follow behind commercial Europe, and multiply the evils which the factory system has already inflicted upon India. Knowing that the best artistic opinion of Europe is wholly on my side, and believing that the removal of departmental impediments to the progress of Indian art and industry are urgently called for, both for the sake of British prestige and in the interest of India herself, I offer no apology for putting my arguments before the Government and the public again and again, in season and out of season.

Excerpt from Indian Art at Delhi, 1903: Being the Offical Catalogue of the Delhi Exhibition, 1902-1903 Location. - Exhibits in Class I - Metal Wares extend from right to left, along the entire length of the Main Gallery, but Division 1 has been placed on the extreme right and Division 6 on the extreme left, in order to admit of the Gold and Silver Wares being located in the centre of the space devoted to the class, and hence on the right and left of the great transept. It is in this great transept that exhibits in Class X - Fine Arts (such as sculpture, painting, book illumination, etc.) are set out. It Will thus be observed that the system on which the divisions in Class I have been assorted, and which has been followed in locating the divisions in the other classes as well, brings the most highly artistic goods of the Metal Wares, as also of each of the other classes, into the centre of the gallery and thus into juxtaposition with the Fine Arts.

Excerpt from Buddhist Art in India The first edition of Professor Albert Grunwedel's handbook on Buddhistische Kunst in Indien appeared in 1893, and the hope was expressed in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society that the work might appear in English, as "it ought to be in the hands of all antiquarians in India." Believing that so important a publication might, by a few additions, form a useful general guide to the Buddhist sculptures in the museums alike of India and Europe, I have prepared the present edition. Miss A. C. Gibson very kindly translated for me the first edition; but by the time it was ready for the press, Prof. Grunwedel had begun his second edition containing extensive additions and alterations. This involved delay and a revision of the whole MS. Considerable additions have also been made to this translation, which have, partly at least, been indicated, and about fifty illustrations are added. The difficulties in interpreting the Gandhara Buddhist sculptures arise chiefly from their fragmentary and unconnected condition. This has been lamentably increased by the ignorance or disregard of scientific methods on the part of the excavators of these remains. Monasteries and stupas were dug into and demolished without regard to what might be learnt in the process by modern methods; the more complete fragments only were saved, without note of their relative positions or any attempt to recover smaller portions and chips by which they might have been pieced together; and the spoils were sent to various museums, often without mention of the sites from which they emanated.

Excerpt from The Indian Craftsman Trained as we are to measure everything by a mechanical standard, it is difficult for us to see things clearly, to get a correct focus. We are apt to forget that our view is biassed, that we attach a disproportionate value to the productions of machinery, and that a vast number, perhaps 60 per cent., of these productions are not, as is' generally supposed, labour-saving, health-giving and serviceable to our general life and culture, but the reverse. It is questionable, said John Stuart Mill half a century ago, whether all the labour saving machinery has yet lightened the day's labour of a single human being and the years that have followed his death seem not only to have further borne out his statement, but the people themselves who are being exploited by mechanical conditions are beginning to find it out.
