A key figure in Benares (Varanasi), James Prinsep (1799-1840) was instrumental in expanding Western knowledge of Indian civilisation. Collected in two volumes in 1858 and edited by the numismatist Edward Thomas (1813-86), these essays are generously illustrated and display the enormous breadth of Prinsep's knowledge.
