The present handbook is the first of its kind in Kashmir, and is intended to supply the want felt by the numerous visitors who, without being professed antiquarians, take an intelligent interest in the antiquities of Kashmir. It is modeled upon the "Handbook of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston." Each object described is illustrated. The descriptions are as short as they could possibly be. As a matter of fact, the aim has been to make the descriptions merely supplementary to the illustrations. All details which were not likely to interest the average visitor, and which would have considerably increased the bulk of the booklet has been avoided.
