The present work contains a description and history of every object of archaeological or monumental interest in Delhi; beginning with the site of the semi-mythical Indraprastha, the capital of Yudishthira, which dates back to the year 1450 bc, and concluding with the tomb of the Emperor Akbar II, who died in the year ad 1837. Carr Stephen’s description is marked by accurate details and history of the monuments along with English translation of inscriptions whenever these are available. The importance of The Archaeology and Monumental Remains of Delhi lies not only in its being an earliest account synthesizing the available information but also as a benchmark for the changes in the buildings and their landscape. The work is therefore of outstanding value not withstanding the change in perception due to new material and research.
