Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions that are true to the original work. In this volume Rhys, the celebrated Buddhist scholar, attempts to describe ancient India, during the period of Buddhist ascendancy, from the point of view, not so much of the brahmin, as of the rajput. The two points of view naturally differ very much. Priest and noble in India have always worked very well together so long as the question at issue did not touch their own rival claims as against one another. When it did-and it did so especially during the period referred to-the harmony, as will be evident from the following pages, was not so great. Contents: The Kings; The Clans and Nations; The Village; Social Grades; In the Town; Economic Conditions; Writing-The Beginnings; Writing-Its Development; Language and Literature; Literature; The Jataka Book; Religion-Animism; Religion-The Brahmin Position; Chandragupta; Asoka; and Kanishka.
