LISTS OF ANTIQUARIAN REMAINS IN THE CENTRAL PROVINCES AND BERAR - PB

About the Book:-The author reveals that these Lists of Antiquarian Remains in the Central Provinces and Berar are compiled from old manuscript and printed lists, very imperfect. General Sir Alexander Cunningham’s Reports, the Central Provinces and Berar Gazetteers, a short list in Dr. Burgess’ Lists of Remains in the Bombay Presidency, additions and corrections received from District Officers, and information gleaned personally during two tours which he made in 1892-93-94 through portions of these districts. This does not profess to be a perfect and exhaustive list and must be accepted as provisional, for there are still very large tracts in the Central Provinces which have not yet been examined by the antiquarian, and hardly by anyone else. Owing, too, to the want of an elementary acquaintance with antiquarian remains, or even a passing interest in them, on the part of many District Officers, much of the information obtained from them is very defective, and many entries of uninteresting and modern objects have been included in their returns which should not have found a place at all
