This little concise aims to be a handbook for the use of Archaeological officers and others entrusted with the care of ancient monuments in the early 20th century. This handbook was designed solely to meet the requirements of Engineers and Builders engaged on new buildings, it necessarily contains much that is irrelevant and much also that is quite unsuitable for archaeological works. In compiling this book, the author has made it his object to present the materials in as simple and concise a form as possible and so to arrange and index them that the standing orders, instructions or specifications relative to any given point many readily be referred to. To this end this book has been divided into two parts. In the first part are set forth all essential government orders regarding the maintenance of monuments and the conduct of conservation work, the duties of officers and their assistants in respects of it, the principles and procedure to be followed by them, and such other explanations as have to him requisite. The second part contains detailed instructions and specifications in all questions likely to arise in connection with the conservation of ancient monuments in India. These are intended to serve as a guide, wherever conditions permit, but to be modified according to circumstances, if for local or other reasons modification is thought desirable. This book is a reprint of 1922 edition and published under the Government of India.
