Synopsis The present volume contains an excellent account of the history and architecture of Delhi. It will afford to readers and visitors not only a clear guide to all that is seen in Delhi but also an intelligent record of the history of the place in all its various phases. The text supplemented by excellent and rare photographs and maps provide a visual expression to the cultural spectrum of Delhi and pleads for its long term conservation. The book which has long been out-of-print is being reissued for the use of historians, conservators, tourists, archaeologists and also for the lay-readers. Written with an unmatched erudition and in lucid style, this is a work of outstanding value not withstanding the change in perception due to new material and research.
