"The present compilation has not resulted in any remarkable discovery, but has served to establish a most essential factor in a handbook, to wit, reasonable accuracy. The author has been able to unveil some mysteries, notably one surrounding the building of the wonderful Black Pagoda. The author has brought under reference nearly every reliable authority on the subject to give clear and accurate description of the temples of Jagannath and Puri which are assisted by some beautiful photographs in black and white."
