Published online by Cambridge University Press: 12 June 2012
Extract
I have the honour of laying before the Society of Antiquaries, for their inspection this evening, a drawing of the celebrated Sandal-wood Gates of Somnath; it has been made from some elaborate sketches taken by Lieut.-Col. Luard in the camp of Loodiana, in January last. Independently of the historical interest which these gates possess, they merit consideration from the beauty of their design and execution, proving the high state of art among the Hindoos at the remote period of their construction,—they are probably one thousand years old.
