Traditional History Of Early: Although the material in the first three cantos is mostly legendary, the chronicle is remarkable as the only work in Sanskrit literature yet discovered with any historical value. The work makes use of earlier writings now lost. The first six books cover the traditional history of early times down to the reign of Sangrama Deva (1006) ; two later books bring the history down to the reign of Singha Deva, about 1156. The existence of the book first became known to the Mohammedans in 1588 when, during Akbar's invasion, a copy was given to the emperor. The Sanskrit text was published in 1835, and there are translations by Y. C. Datta (1898) and Sir Aurel Stein (1900).Political supremacy came about from geographical proximity to the Etruscans on the opposite bank of the Tiber. By defending their own independence against the Etruscans, the Romans were at the same time defending all of Latium and thereby winning primacy over the other Latins.The political history of the monarchical period of Roman history is largely legendary, and the dates assigned to its duration (753-509 B.C.) are merely traditional.
In England, too, with its traditional interest in natural history, Nature Conservancy was successful in setting apart areas for study and to enhance the landscape, and scientists successfully protested ihe establishment of military installations that would have endangered rare species on a small island in the Indian Ocean. |
