Description: This book, written by Praphulla Chandra Ray talks about the history of chemistry in ancient times, which he believes is ignored to-date because of the complexity and the technical nature of the subject. The author had a fascination with the progress of chemical knowledge amongst ancient nations, because of which he undertook the task of writing this book. This book has two editions. The first one deals with the work of Charaka and Susruta in Ayurveda. Due to the great acceptance of the book, the author published the second edition with some modifications in the introductory part wherein he threw more light on the Hindu medicines.
