Excerpt from The Industrial Arts of India, Vol. 1 of 2

Part I, on the Hindu Pantheon, has been compiled chiefly from the well-known works of Belnos, Coleman, Colebrooke, Dowson, Dubois, Fonseca, Garrett, Gladwin, Goldstucker, Herklots, Sir W. Jones, Muir, Max Muller, Ward, Talboys Wheeler, Monier Williams, H. H. Wilson, and J. Wilson, and revised throughout from the Classical Dictionary of Hindu Mythology recently published by Professor Dowson, whose spelling of the names of gods and epic heroes of India I have endeavoured to uniformly follow. I have also had to make frequent use of the papers on Ancient Sculpturings on Rocks, on The Snake Symbol in India, on Stone Carvings at Mainpura, and on Prehistoric Remains in Ancient India, published in the Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal, by Mr. J. H. Rivett-Carnac, C.I.E., of the Bengal Civil Service, and of the papers on The Village named Maruda in Southern Konkana, on Serpent Worship in Western India, on The Shrine of the River Krishna at Mahabalesvara, and on The Shrine of Mahabalesvara, published in the Journal of the Bombay Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society by the Honorable Rao Sahib Vishvanath Narayan Mandlik, member of the Bombay Legislative Council.
