WORKS BY
HAR BILAS SARDA,
HINDU SUPERIORITY.
(PP. 428 + XXXII.)
Full Cloth, Royal Octavo, illustrated ... ... Rs. 6.

1. The Liberty Review (LONDON) :—" The facts which
   ne brings forward to establish the pre-eminence of India in
   every department and sphere of human activity are of a charac-
   ter which it would be difficult to dispute, and the style in which
   they are set forth is both clear and picturesque."
2. The Indian World (CALCUTTA) :—" Mr. Sarda's book
   is the most interesting account of the ancient civilization of
   India that we have ever had the pleasure of reading. Mr.
   Sarda's style is easy, clear and sometimes rises even to elo-
   quence ; his manner of presenting an argument or advancing a
   theory is always happy and attractive: his study is encyclopædic.
   To the future historian of India this book will prove a mine of
   information, to the student of the civilization of the world it will
   be indispensable."
3. The Amrita Bazar Patrika :—"The researches of the
   author prove his tireless energy, uncommon industry and his
   vast knowledge." "In that remarkable book he has done in-
   valuable service to the 'Hindus by showing them by facts and
   figures the great achievements of their ancestors. And what
   Hindu heart will not glow with pride to know that the ancient
   Hindus were not only a highly patriotic and most warlike
   nation, but they rose to the highest pinnacle of glory in all
   walks of life."
4. The Indian Mirror (CALCUTTA) :—"M. Har Bilas
   Sarda, has done an inestimable service to his country by pub-
   lishing a remarkable book entitled 'Hindu Superiority,.........
   Let every patriotic Hindu come and cast a glance at the inspiri-
   ting picture of his country's past greatness painted in the pages
   of 'Hindu Superiority.' It is needless to dwell at length upon
   the vast erudition and antiquarian research of the author.
   The book is a priceless treasure.
5. The Morning Post (DELHI):—"As a contribution to
   the history of his country, it is intensely interesting from
   beginning to end. As a brief synopsis of a vast subject, the
   work is a most valuable contribution to our knowledge."
   235

AJMER.

Historical and Descriptive.

With 29 full page illustrations, full cloth, gilt lettered... Rs. 5.
1. The Morning Post (DELHI) :—"For the book under
review we have nothing but praise. It is the work of a scholar
in love with his subject, and his research in all the by-ways of
Indian history does him great credit.
2. Dr. A.F.R Hoernle, C.I.E., LL.D. (ENGLAND) :—"I
write to congratulate you on the production of your book
'Ajmer : Historical and Descriptive.' It is replete with useful
and interesting information, and the illustrative plates give a
good idea of the fine sights of Ajmer."
3. Mrs. Sarojini Naidu :—"I think your book is most
interesting. It is of great interest to every reader who has the
"pride of country" in his veins. It is really a patriotic kind of
work to write so comprehensive, instructive and attractive a
history of a city famous and dear to every Indian, whether he
bathe spiritually in Brahma's Lotus Lake or bow his head at
the Chishti shrine."
5. The Indian Antiquary :—"The author has spared no
pains to make his book as accurate, full and reliable as it was
possible to do. The reader is sure to be amazed at the mass of
information so critically collected and so interestingly set forth."
4. The Hindustan Review (ALLAHABAD) :—"We can un-
reservedly commend it to all lovers of the picturesque iu India
and to all students of its history. The book is beautifully got-
up, embellished with 29 most excellent illustrations."

MAHARANA SANGA.

Full Cloth, gilt lettered and Frontispiece ... Rs. 2-8-0.
1. The Modern Review (CALCUTTA) says :—Mr. Sarda's
method is most up-to-date. His facts are based on contemporary
records, inscription and official chronicles. Being a gentleman of
the Rajput country and fully familiar with the living traditions
of history still current in that country and with Indo-Muham-
madan histories he occupies an unrivalled position as a Rajput
historian. His writings have the further advantage of being
products of a pen used to judicial weighing of facts. It is
really an epic booklet. Personalities vie with each other in
nobleness, valour and sense of honour. The mind becomes awe
stricken by stories which are more romantic than the greatest
romances. Their virtues thrill the heart and electrify the soul.
2. Dr. A. Vincent Smith, Litt. D. (Oxford) :—This
book on Maharana Sanga is well turned out and carefully prin-
ted. The author has used Sanskrit, Hindi and Persian mate-
rials as well as the ordinary books in Fnglish, and the book thus
possesses independent value as a work of original research.

HAMMIR OF RANTHANBHOR.

Price ... ... ... Re. 1-8-0.
1. The Bengalee (CALCUTTA):—"It is an illuminating
record of Rajput daring and achievement coupled with Rajput
chivalry and generosity."
2. The Hindustan Review says: "It is an inspiring life
which Mr. Sarda describes. The nobility, the faithfulness
to his plighted word, the bravery of Hammira have been often
sung in Sanskrit and Hindi verse; his is really a household
name. Mr. Sarda has done well to familiarise the English-
knowing public with the shining achievements and noble
character of this mediæval Rajput monarch."
3. The Hindu (MADRAS) says that this monograph, boldly
printed on fine art paper and got up in excellent style with an
index contains a thrilling account of the last of the Chauhan
monarchs, one who is celebrated in Hindustan as a Rajput hero
reputed for his chivalry and determination. His life embodies
a fine example of Hindu-Muslim harmony and friendship. Its
study must be particularly valuable at this time of India's
history as revealing the extent to which such union had existed
in the past.
4. The Vedic Magazine says that Hammiradeva was the
last of the brave Chauhan dynasty. He was one of the bravest
of India's son. As regards valour and chivalry, he maintained
the best traditions of his race. His reply to Sultan Alauddin
when the latter demanded the surrender of Mir Mahomed
Shah will live for all time in the annals of Hindustan. "The
sun would sooner rise in the west and Sumeru be levelled with
the earth than he would break his plighted faith."
5. The Independent says that the story is well written
in an easy and flowing style. The annals of Rajput dynasties
abound in a variety of chivalrous deeds and the author has
done a good service to the reading public, young and old, by
his books on the heroes of India.

MAHARANA KUMBHA.

Full cloth, gilt lettered with 14 illustrations, ... Rs. 5
(OPINIONS ON FIRST EDITION.)
1. Dr. O. Codrington, Hon Librarian of the Royal
Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland:—"I have
read Maharana Kumbha with the utmost interest. I congratu-
late you on the production of a well set up book contain-
ing a well told account of a remarkable and great Rajput
Ruler—the first, I am glad to see by the foreword, of a series
of monographs."
2. Mahamahopadhyaya P. Har Prasada Sastri, C.I.E.
**Vice-President, Asiatic Society of Bengal:—**Your Rana
237

Kumbha will be appreciated throughout Bengal. It gives a
very full account of the man and his times. Your book reads
like a novel.
3. The Tribune (LAHORF) :—"It furnishes stimulating
reading to the general public, and at the same time forms in
some respects the nucleus for an outline of national history....
There are references to facts, circumstances and events hither-
to unpublished, and as such they present new and in many
respects fascinating pictures of life and conditions of the four-
teenth and fifteenth centuries. The monograph is not merely
an exciting narration of dynastic struggles, of battles lost and
won, of personal heroism and deeds of chivalry. It is also a
valuable record of social, political and moral activities that
afford some insight into mediæval Indian polity. The work
before us is also replete with instances of high moral worth
and great and noble ends which have been the inspiration of
princes and their councillors from time immemorial.
4. New India (MADRAS) :—The author is an able writer
and the theme suits his pen. Besides, when three Rajputs like
Chonda, ·Kumbha and Jodha are shown, playing their parts
simultaneously in a book like this, the story cannot but be of
absorbing interest.
5. The Hindustan Review (ALLAHABAD) :—Mr. Har Bilas
Sarda is a specialist in the history and traditions of Rajputana,
and his knowledge of the subject has been well utilized by him
in his historico-biographical sketch called "Maharana Kum-
bha." Mr. Sarda has produced an exceedingly interesting
account of his life and heroic career.
6. The Mahratta (POONA) says : "The author has made
full use of all the inscriptions, manuscripts and other resources
to bring his information up to date..............We can heartily
commend the book to the public. Books of this sort unveiling
our real past—full of many a glorious deed—serve to strength-
en our faith in our future."
7. The Amrit Bazar Patrika (CALCUTTA) : -The latest
work from that master hand is an historical sketch of that
great Rajput chief and hero, Maharana Kumbha: we have
read it with great pleasure. We recommend it to the Hindu
reading public which takes pride in our past glory.

THE PRITHVIRAJA VIJAYA.

Price : Re. 1.
The Modern Review (CALCUTTA) :—"This essay contains
a highly valuable and critical account of a Sanskrit poem on
Prithviraj......Mr. Sarda learnedly compares six chronological
tables of Prithviraj's dynasty from six difference sources and
gives interesting descriptions of Ajmer city and the king's
personal appearance."
