WORKS BY HAR BILAS SARDA, HINDU SUPERIORITY. (PP. 428 + XXXII.) Full Cloth, Royal Octavo, illustrated ... ... Rs. 6.

1. The Liberty Review (LONDON) :—" The facts which ne brings forward to establish the pre-eminence of India in every department and sphere of human activity are of a charac- ter which it would be difficult to dispute, and the style in which they are set forth is both clear and picturesque."
2. The Indian World (CALCUTTA) :—" Mr. Sarda's book is the most interesting account of the ancient civilization of India that we have ever had the pleasure of reading. Mr. Sarda's style is easy, clear and sometimes rises even to elo- quence ; his manner of presenting an argument or advancing a theory is always happy and attractive: his study is encyclopædic. To the future historian of India this book will prove a mine of information, to the student of the civilization of the world it will be indispensable."
3. The Amrita Bazar Patrika :—"The researches of the author prove his tireless energy, uncommon industry and his vast knowledge." "In that remarkable book he has done in- valuable service to the 'Hindus by showing them by facts and figures the great achievements of their ancestors. And what Hindu heart will not glow with pride to know that the ancient Hindus were not only a highly patriotic and most warlike nation, but they rose to the highest pinnacle of glory in all walks of life."
4. The Indian Mirror (CALCUTTA) :—"M. Har Bilas Sarda, has done an inestimable service to his country by pub- lishing a remarkable book entitled 'Hindu Superiority,......... Let every patriotic Hindu come and cast a glance at the inspiri- ting picture of his country's past greatness painted in the pages of 'Hindu Superiority.' It is needless to dwell at length upon the vast erudition and antiquarian research of the author. The book is a priceless treasure.
5. The Morning Post (DELHI):—"As a contribution to the history of his country, it is intensely interesting from beginning to end. As a brief synopsis of a vast subject, the work is a most valuable contribution to our knowledge." 235

AJMER.

Historical and Descriptive.

With 29 full page illustrations, full cloth, gilt lettered... Rs. 5. 1. The Morning Post (DELHI) :—"For the book under review we have nothing but praise. It is the work of a scholar in love with his subject, and his research in all the by-ways of Indian history does him great credit. 2. Dr. A.F.R Hoernle, C.I.E., LL.D. (ENGLAND) :—"I write to congratulate you on the production of your book 'Ajmer : Historical and Descriptive.' It is replete with useful and interesting information, and the illustrative plates give a good idea of the fine sights of Ajmer." 3. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu :—"I think your book is most interesting. It is of great interest to every reader who has the "pride of country" in his veins. It is really a patriotic kind of work to write so comprehensive, instructive and attractive a history of a city famous and dear to every Indian, whether he bathe spiritually in Brahma's Lotus Lake or bow his head at the Chishti shrine." 5. The Indian Antiquary :—"The author has spared no pains to make his book as accurate, full and reliable as it was possible to do. The reader is sure to be amazed at the mass of information so critically collected and so interestingly set forth." 4. The Hindustan Review (ALLAHABAD) :—"We can un- reservedly commend it to all lovers of the picturesque iu India and to all students of its history. The book is beautifully got- up, embellished with 29 most excellent illustrations."

MAHARANA SANGA.

Full Cloth, gilt lettered and Frontispiece ... Rs. 2-8-0. 1. The Modern Review (CALCUTTA) says :—Mr. Sarda's method is most up-to-date. His facts are based on contemporary records, inscription and official chronicles. Being a gentleman of the Rajput country and fully familiar with the living traditions of history still current in that country and with Indo-Muham- madan histories he occupies an unrivalled position as a Rajput historian. His writings have the further advantage of being products of a pen used to judicial weighing of facts. It is really an epic booklet. Personalities vie with each other in nobleness, valour and sense of honour. The mind becomes awe stricken by stories which are more romantic than the greatest romances. Their virtues thrill the heart and electrify the soul. 2. Dr. A. Vincent Smith, Litt. D. (Oxford) :—This book on Maharana Sanga is well turned out and carefully prin- ted. The author has used Sanskrit, Hindi and Persian mate- rials as well as the ordinary books in Fnglish, and the book thus possesses independent value as a work of original research. 236

HAMMIR OF RANTHANBHOR.

Price ... ... ... Re. 1-8-0. 1. The Bengalee (CALCUTTA):—"It is an illuminating record of Rajput daring and achievement coupled with Rajput chivalry and generosity." 2. The Hindustan Review says: "It is an inspiring life which Mr. Sarda describes. The nobility, the faithfulness to his plighted word, the bravery of Hammira have been often sung in Sanskrit and Hindi verse; his is really a household name. Mr. Sarda has done well to familiarise the English- knowing public with the shining achievements and noble character of this mediæval Rajput monarch." 3. The Hindu (MADRAS) says that this monograph, boldly printed on fine art paper and got up in excellent style with an index contains a thrilling account of the last of the Chauhan monarchs, one who is celebrated in Hindustan as a Rajput hero reputed for his chivalry and determination. His life embodies a fine example of Hindu-Muslim harmony and friendship. Its study must be particularly valuable at this time of India's history as revealing the extent to which such union had existed in the past. 4. The Vedic Magazine says that Hammiradeva was the last of the brave Chauhan dynasty. He was one of the bravest of India's son. As regards valour and chivalry, he maintained the best traditions of his race. His reply to Sultan Alauddin when the latter demanded the surrender of Mir Mahomed Shah will live for all time in the annals of Hindustan. "The sun would sooner rise in the west and Sumeru be levelled with the earth than he would break his plighted faith." 5. The Independent says that the story is well written in an easy and flowing style. The annals of Rajput dynasties abound in a variety of chivalrous deeds and the author has done a good service to the reading public, young and old, by his books on the heroes of India.

MAHARANA KUMBHA.

Full cloth, gilt lettered with 14 illustrations, ... Rs. 5 (OPINIONS ON FIRST EDITION.) 1. Dr. O. Codrington, Hon Librarian of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland:—"I have read Maharana Kumbha with the utmost interest. I congratu- late you on the production of a well set up book contain- ing a well told account of a remarkable and great Rajput Ruler—the first, I am glad to see by the foreword, of a series of monographs." 2. Mahamahopadhyaya P. Har Prasada Sastri, C.I.E. **Vice-President, Asiatic Society of Bengal:—**Your Rana 237

Kumbha will be appreciated throughout Bengal. It gives a very full account of the man and his times. Your book reads like a novel. 3. The Tribune (LAHORF) :—"It furnishes stimulating reading to the general public, and at the same time forms in some respects the nucleus for an outline of national history.... There are references to facts, circumstances and events hither- to unpublished, and as such they present new and in many respects fascinating pictures of life and conditions of the four- teenth and fifteenth centuries. The monograph is not merely an exciting narration of dynastic struggles, of battles lost and won, of personal heroism and deeds of chivalry. It is also a valuable record of social, political and moral activities that afford some insight into mediæval Indian polity. The work before us is also replete with instances of high moral worth and great and noble ends which have been the inspiration of princes and their councillors from time immemorial. 4. New India (MADRAS) :—The author is an able writer and the theme suits his pen. Besides, when three Rajputs like Chonda, ·Kumbha and Jodha are shown, playing their parts simultaneously in a book like this, the story cannot but be of absorbing interest. 5.
