These men have gained much by the examples they have drawn, “The liberality of His Highness Maharaja Sawai Madho Singh of Jaipur has enablod these Portfolios to be published —act with any expectation of remuneration, but withthe hope thatthe drawings may help those who zmay be called upon to design buildings in te future, andewho wish to profit hy the past.
