2022About The Book :The numerous engravings in the present volume, the extended letterpress, and the references to work of later labourers in the wide domain of Indian Architecture, will greatly diminish, but cannot entirely remove. The present volume divided into four parts, namely, Buddhist Architecture (Stambhas, Stupas, Chaitya Halls, Viharas and Gandhara Monasteries), Second part consists of informations regarding architecture in the Himalayas, the part three is about Dravidian style, (Hindu construction, Dravidian Rock-cut Temples, and Civil architecture). The part four is about Chalukyan Style. It cannot, ofcourse, be for one moment contended that India ever reached the intellectual supremacy of Greece, or the moral greatness of Rome, but though on a lower step of the lader, her arts are more original and more varied and her form of civilization present an ever changing variety such as are nowhere else to be found. About The Author : James Fergusson, (1808-1886) was a Scottish-born architectural historian, mainly remembered for his interest in Indian historical architecture and antiquities. He was an important figure in the 19th century rediscovery of ancient India. He was originally a businessman, and though not formally trained as an architect, designed some buildings and decorative schemes.His observations on Indian architecture were first published in his book on The Rock-cut Temples of India, published in 1845. The task of analysing the historic and aesthetic relations of this type of ancient buildings led him further to undertake a historical and critical comparative survey of the whole subject of architecture in The Illustrated Handbook of Architecture, being a Concise and Popular Account of the different Styles of Architecture prevailing in all Ages and Countries, a work which first appeared in 1855 in two volumes. It was followed in 1862 by one entitled A History of the Modern Styles of Architecture, being a sequel to the Handbook of Architecture. The 1855 work was reissued ten years later in a much more extended form in three volumes, under the title of A History of Architecture in all Countries from the Earliest Times to the Present Day. The chapters on Indian architecture, which had been considered at rather disproportionate length in the Handbook, were removed from the general History, and the whole of this subject treated more fully in a separate volume, The History of Indian and Eastern Architecture, which appeared in 1876, as the fourth volume to The History of Architecture. The 1876 work was later revised with additions by James Burgess and Richard Phené Spiers in 1910 and published in two volumes The Title 'History of Indian and Eastern Architecture written/authored/edited by James Fergusson', published in the year 2022.
