The authors have prepared this multivolume book in different races in this subcontinent in such a way that anybody can be remained in loop till the end. Classification of the peoples or races of this land can be attempted only when we are in possession of accurate knowledge concerning them, but not before. The kind of knowledge which is required may be grouped under anthropology and folklore ? heads which include much of archaeology. The last should by no means suffer from neglect, but, in the strict sense of its meaning, it is more confined to the relatively modem remains of man’s handiwork, while the reach of the other two into the past is, one may say, boundless. In these, therefore, we must seek in order to find what we would know of the races of the human family, of the growth of human thought, of the trace of human religions, the course of civilization. The term folklore embraces not merely folktales, their variants and their migrations, which alone would perhaps never lead up to origins, but is comprehensive of all that pertains to human thought and feeling in the past as expressed in existing customs, ceremonial usages, beliefs, not omitting evidences of these in the tangible remains of the past, for example, the old stone circles. Whatever the reason may be, such facts as are of use to build up the structure of an ethnological survey of India ? let us confine ourselves to our own Madras Pre sidency and say Southern India ? are at the present moment very, very few. It defines different races on scientific way to make this multivolume sets an interesting one.
