To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It is to this second expedition that we owe the only correct plans ^ and the only really interesting casts, copies of which appear in the Babu's second volume. All in fact that renders his work of the smallest possible interest or importance to the student of Indian archsBology is due to this second expedition.* The Babu entered upon the task of historian of this great campaign with his accustomed vigour. In his second volume, page 41, he concludes a long rambling note, full of doubtful facts a...nd mistaken inferences, with the following pithy sen- tence : " To persons gifted with that perfection of imagination which could, like Dean Swift, fill up a volume on a broomstick, the plasticity and elasticity of architecttlral and sculptural evidence may be welcome, but the stiffness of dated inscrip- tion is more agreeable to sober-minded ordinary mortals." It expresses in so few words the whold cause of quarrel between us, that he might as well have printed it on the title-page as the text on which this strange sermon of errors was going to * I except of course the plan of the temple at Puri made by Kadhaki Persad Mukerji, which was originally published on a larger scale and only in a reduced form in this work.
