Synopsis

Ancient geography is an essential adjustment of history, and the usefulness of a compendium of such geographical information for a full and just appreciation of the latter hardly needs any mention specially when time has mutilated or obscured the ancient names of places that usually figure in the historical narratives. Indian history, ancient or medieval, and the documents upon which it is principally based, are full of these names, and unless they are elucidated in a systematic way as far as possible, the path of the historian and, for the matter of that, of the ordinary readers of history, will continue uneasy for this difficulty alone.
