by its author of a difficult subject which was shrouded in historical obscurity. That Mr. Reu after 13 years of hard study and research has been able to reclaim the history of a mighty people from the abyss of oblivion is no mean achievement specially when the work was left incomplete by Panditji's predecessors for a long period of over 50 years and the State had undergone huge expenditure over it in thousands. *
Persons more qualihed on the subject than I am have received the book well. I congratulate Pandit Bisheshwar Nath Reu on the success of his book and compliment him on his spirit of critical inquiry and unbiased judgment which pervades his work.
Let me hope this account of the glorious past of the Rathors will inspire Marwaris to build up yet a glorious future with which will go down the name of Mr. Reu.
