About the book:-The author reveals that this volume is the first of the new series of Reports, begun after the reorganisation of the Archaeological Surveys in Upper India in 1885. In directing these Surveys, his aim has been to have the Report volumes, as far as practicable, exhaustive and final on the subjects treated of in each. Much of course will be discovered everywhere in the future; but the monumental archaeology can be fully dealt with, and a report consisting chiefly of cursory notes on places visited on a flying tour, with rough drawings and photographs of the more notable buildings and sculptures met with, and speculations on matters on which the surveyor does not possess the materials for anything better than a mere hypothesis more curious than scientific is not what ought to be considered satisfactory. Government has wisely forbidden the indulgence of the propensity to start such profitless speculations by the surveyors in their reports; and this volume will be found to be a plain statement of historical facts based on original sources of information relating to the places and buildings described, with careful and accurate representations of the monuments and their details sufficient to illustrate them-if not in every detail, yet quite as fully as is needed to give a complete idea of their architecture. Besides the monograph on the Sharqi architecture of Jaunpur, the report contains notes on the archaeological remains at Zafarabad, Bhulla-Tal, Ayodhya, and Sahet-Mahet, which places he visited in the course of his tour. The plates have been reproduced by photo-lithographic processes at the Survey of India Office in Calcutta, but on account of other and more pressing demands,to which those plates had often to give way,—the work has been much protracted. About the Author:-Alois Anton Führer (1853 – 1930) was a German Indologist who worked for the Archaeological Survey of India. He is known for his archaeological excavations, which he believed proved that Gautama Buddha was born in Lumbini, Nepal. He came back to India in 1885 and on his arrival Alfred Comyn Lyall appointed him Curator of the Lucknow Provincial Museum. He started work in March and immediately set about improving the museum. Impressed by the changes, Lyall, the Chair of the Museum's Management Committee, wrote to Calcutta asking whether a part-time job for him could be found with the Archaeological Survey of India.
