Hindu polity, a constitutional history of India in Hundu times

HINDU POLITY,' in two volumes (Parts)-the first on Vedie Assemblies and Republics, the second on Monarchy and Imperial Systems-is a sketch of the constitutional life of Subject and Difficulty the Hindus. The subject is great but its treatment has to be modest. The works of purva-sūris had long been hidden; the path opened by them had long been lost. It had to be researched. In 1911-13 a probable line was laid to dig and discover the Ancients' highway in the field of Polity. In these pages that line has been deepened and widened.
