This first volume contains the history of the first set of Hindu kingdoms which ruled in India from about 650 to 800 A. D., though in particular cases like that of Kashmir it has been found advisable to bring the history down to the end of the Hindu period i. e. to 1200 A. D., we have however, followed the example of gibbon in one important respect and have given in book I, a detailed account of the reign of Harsha which is in a manner the basis of this history and we have also taken a survey of the political, social and religious condition of the country in the time of that emperor, a condition which furnishes the starting point for the subsequent evolution of the Hindu people.
