AT A TIME when each Society had its own medium of propagation of its researches, deliberations etc., in the form of Transaction, Proceeding, Journal etc., a need was strongly felt for bringing out a journal devoted exclusively to the study and advancement of Indian Culture in all its aspects. The endeavors boosted by public demand, encouraged Jas Burgess to launch the Indian Antiquary in 1872. The Scope as enunciated by its founder editor was, in his own words, "as wide as possible" incorporating Manners and Customs, Arts, Mythology, Feasts, Festivals and Rites, Antiquities and History of India. The journal carried also a correspondence column to elicit the information and interest. Another laudable aim was to present the readers abstracts of the most recent researches of scholars in India and the west by Translating them from German, French and other foreign tongues, besides drawing the attention of researches by publications of Articles, notes etc. Of interest from the other Asiatic Society which would have been otherwise published this journal. Indian Antiquary, also dealt with local-legends, folklore, proverbs etc. In short Indian Antiquary as envisaged by the visionary Burgess was journal entirely devoted to the study of MAN-The Indian-in all the spheres of activities of his day to day life, past and present.
