The Asiatic Society (established in Calcutta in 1784) published their magazine The Asiatic Researches (vol.I-XX, 1788-1839). In the latter part of the 18th century, the linguist W. Chambers, the mathematician R. Burrow and the astronomer J. Goldingham presented the monographs relative to Indian Architecture to The Asiatik Researches. They were not the specialist in Architecture, although, at "Chambers's monograph," there is a idea which the ruins at Mahabalipuram was built by the sryle of Architecture in the Ancient North India. At "Burrow's monograph," there is a view which the architecture and the pillar in India was perceived to have the identity and the universality with those in Ancient Egypt and Europe. At "Goldingham's monograph, there is a idea which there was the origin of cave in the Ancient India, and which the Cave at Elephanta was copied from the system of this original. At three monographs, there was the near idea of the theory on origin in the views on India Architecture, and this idea had been known to the members of the Society.
