Born in Scotland, James Fergusson (1808 86) spent ten years as an
indigo planter in India before embarking upon a second career as an
architectural historian. Although he had no formal training, he
became one of the most respected researchers in the field and an
expert on India's cave temples. His History of Indian and Eastern
Architecture was first published in 1876 and became a standard
work. It was revised in this two-volume edition of 1910 by James
Burgess (1832 1916), former Director of the Archaeological Survey
of India, and Richard Spiers (1838 1916), a noted architect and
historian of architecture. Volume 1 covers Buddhist and Himalayan
architecture, the Dravidian style of southern India, and the later
Chalukyan style from southern and central India in the early
medieval period. Illustrated with 280 maps, plans and drawings,
this work of impressive scope remains relevant to students of
Indian architecture and history.
