Book Description
Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India, Vol. 1 of 2 Part II, on The Master Handicrafts of India, is a reprint, with added text, of a portion of my Handbook to tlze Indian Court at the Paris International Exhibition of 1878. It was so well received, both on the Continent and in this country by people interested in the minor arts of India, thati resolved to publish a carefully rewritten edition of it for general sale. I began by adding to it copious notes from the annual Administration Reports of the local governments of India; and I had examined all these reports, and all the provincial Gazetteers as yet published, when I was asked in the early part of this year to write a popular handbook on the industrial arts of India, in connexion with the reopening of the India Museum under its new administration by, the Science and Art Depart ment at South Kensington. In undertaking this task my intention was to write such a short sketch as I have given of the Hindu Pantheon, without some knowledge of which half the interest of the manual arts of India is lost and to add a few general observations on the artis tic character of Indian manufactures. But on examining the india'museum collections in detail, and finding how incomplete they were for a systematic representation of the manufacturing resources of India, I saw that what was most wanted was not a handbook to the contents of theeiuseum, but an index to its deficiencies; and I therefore resolved to virtually republish a portion of my Handbook, with new information, as the second part of the present work. Although its preparation has been hurried - (the Science and Art Department received charge ofthe Museum'only on the Ist of January lastj - I hope that it IS a fairly trustworthy index of every district and town 111 British India where manufactures of any specialartistic quality are produced; and I believe it will prove of some assistance to the oofficials of the Science and Art Department in completing the India Museum collections, and to the general public as a guide to the places in India where they may obtain objects of genuine native art.

Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India, Vol. 2 of 2 A considerable quantity of gold and silver plate, of good original design and excellent workmanship, is now made at Dacca in Bengal, chiefly for export to Calcutta. At Chittagong also, in the same Presidency, the manufacture of vessels in gold and silver is a growing industry but the gold and silversmiths there can only execute plain work to pattern, and do not seem to have any designs of their own.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India I have been much exercised with the spelling of the modern Indian geographical names. I have never before spelled them according to the official system, but have been forced under various compulsions to submit more or less completely to it. On the present occasion. I have given up Sir Charles Napier's Scinde, but I have not been able to give up Moore's Cashmere. Whoever heard of the vale of Kashmir It has been very confusing to me to give up the Old oo's and ee's for the new a's and-i's, which latter render it impossible for common English people to understand anything like the 'true pronunciation of Indian names. It is impossible for English people to pronounce P-u-n-a as Poona, N-i-r-a as Neera, S-h-i-r-p-u-r as Shere pore, or D-a-m - D-a - m as dum-dum.' Even if the natives of India adopted the Roman alphabet we ought not to spell modern Indian geographical names as they naturally would, if our first object is to preserve the proper pronunciation of them: for let it be clearly understood that by the official system of spelling, we are degrad ing their pronunciation. I saw Kurnool the other day rhymed to skull, simply because the writer of the poem, himself an accomplished Orientalist, had been, in a heed less moment, misled by the official spelling of the word Karnul. English is English, and the spelling of English words should be left to be settled, by popular English usage, and no attempt should be made to regulate it by arbitrary resolutions of government.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India, Vol. 1 of 2 Part I, on the Hindu Pantheon, has been compiled chiefly from the well-known works of Belnos, Coleman, Colebrooke, Dowson, Dubois, Fonseca, Garrett, Gladwin, Goldstücker, Herklots, Sir W. Jones, Muir, Max Müller, Ward, Talboys Wheeler, Monier Williams, H. H. Wilson, and J. Wilson, and revised throughout from the Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology recently published by Professor Dowson, whose spelling of the names of gods and epic heroes of India I have endeavoured to uniformly follow. I have also had to make frequent use of the papers on Ancient Sculpturings on Rocks, on The Snake Symbol in India, on Stone Carvings at Mainpura, and on Prehistoric Remains in Ancient India, published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal, by Mr. J. H. Rivett-Carnac, C.I.E., of the Bengal Civil Service, and of the papers on The Village named Maruda in Southern Konkana, on Serpent Worship in Western India, on The Shrine of the River Krishna at Mahabalesvara, and on The Shrine of Mahabalesvara, published in the Journal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society by the Honorable Rao Sahib Vishvanath Narayan Mandlik, member of the Bombay Legislative Council.
