Western Morning News.-"Those who are familiar with the earlier editions of this great work will scarcely recognise it in its new and expanded form. Quite an army of writers has been called into service for its production, and every branch of the wide intricate subject dealt with has received special treatment by an expert.... As a literary presentment of the great Indian Empire in its every department, historical, physical, social, economic, literary, and religious, this great work is unapproached, and it may be questioned whether any country in the world has been more systematically and completely mapped out and described in print."

Academy.-"The numismatist will welcome the initial volume....it is a model of catalogue-making....The catalogue is a model of clear and careful arrangement. Each part and each section has its brief historical introduction and bibliography, and the catalogue pages display in ruled columns the serial number, museum (whether Indian Museum or Asiatic Society of Bengal), metal, weight, and size, obverse and reverse of each coin, with remarks as to provenance, condition, and authenticity. The 31 plates are remarkably clear photographs from casts made by Mr. A. P. Ready, of the British Museum, and there are three good plates of monograms from Bactrian, Kushian, Indio-Parthian, and Gupta coins. To say that the book is issued by the Clarendon Press renders comment upon type, paper, and binding superfluous. The Indian Museum collections, after all their vicissitudes, may be congratulated alike upon their cataloguer and their catalogue, and to both every student of Indian history owes a sincere expression of thanks."
