'Ancient geography' refers here to India's Buddhist period up to
the seventh century CE, during which time Buddhism was the
subcontinent's dominant religion. First published in 1871, this
detailed study covering this period was written by Sir Alexander
Cunningham (1814 93), who served as an officer in the East India
Company and then went on to found and direct the Archaeological
Survey of India. He had become an expert on the country's ancient
geography owing to his experience as a surveyor. In this work he
draws on material ranging from the campaigns of Alexander the Great
to the travels of the seventh-century Buddhist pilgrim Xuanzang,
who recorded much about India's geographical, political, religious
and cultural landscape. Although this book was published as Part I,
a subsequent volume on the Muslim period was never completed.
