ABSTRACT
AN account of the system of administration which prevailed in India over two thousand years ago will naturally interest our readers, and fortunately, both Hindu Sutrakaras and (ireek writers furnish us with reliable information on the subject. We will begin our account with some extracts from Sutra works. The king is directed to build a royal town, and a palace for himself, looking towards the south :----:
II 3. The palace shall stand in tl.e heart of the town. "'4. In front of that there shall be a hall. That 'is called
the hall of invitation. u 5. At a little distance from the town to the south
he shall cause to be built an _assembly house with doors on the south and on the north sides, so that one can see what passes inside and outside."
