PEEFACE.<br />

The illustrations are by Namassivayam Pillai of my office, but <strong>the</strong> half<br />

tones of <strong>the</strong> Halebid temple were produced by Wiele and Kle<strong>in</strong> of Madras.<br />

I regret that one side of <strong>the</strong> western face has not come out well. The Belur<br />

temple is from a photograph by Colonel Dixon <strong>in</strong> about 1865. Of <strong>the</strong> views<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Kedaresvara temple, <strong>the</strong> first is from one taken ei<strong>the</strong>r by <strong>the</strong> Rev. D.<br />

Sanderson or by Mr. Butcher, and <strong>the</strong> second from one by H. H. <strong>the</strong> late<br />

Maharajah of Mysore.<br />

No praise is needed for <strong>the</strong> excellent pr<strong>in</strong>t<strong>in</strong>g of <strong>the</strong> Basel Mission Press,<br />

but I fear this book has become more bulky than was expected, from preserv<strong>in</strong>g<br />

wide marg<strong>in</strong>s with an eye to appearance. For it will be seen how often<br />

<strong>the</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> Kannada text has been exceeded by just one letter or two letters.<br />

Bangalore, November 1901.
