Paperback. Condición: New. Language: English. About The Book -: The great and increasing favour experienced by the Edinburgh Library Cabinet has induced the Publishers to employ the utmost exertion to make the present work, as it is more extensive than any of its predecessors, still more deserving of public approbation. To embod…y in a popular form and moderate compass a full view of the History, the Natural Features, the Political and Social State of British India, was, they were sensible, a task Which could be better accomplished by a combination of Varied talents than by any one individual. He then proceeds to exhibit that splendid series of discovery and Triumph by which the Portuguese achieved the Maritime Passage to India, and established their sway over a great extent of shores. After the discovery and early trade with India, the next Object is its History. This necessarily commences with the Mohammedan invasion, the remotest period concerning Which authentic records exist. A comprehensive view is taken of the Revolutions of the Patan and Mogul Dynasties, the most splendid in the East, and the story of which is diversified with striking vicissitudes of rise and fall. This is the Conquest of India by the British; when a few merchants, with a handful of troops, and struggling against European rivalry, subverted all the states which had sprung from the ruins of the Mogul empire, and became arbiters of the destiny of upwards of One Hundred Millions of human beings placed at the opposite extremity of the globe. The first volume consists of the following topics, namly,General view of the Natural Features of India, Knowledge of India Among the Ancients, Portuguese Discovery of the Passage to India, Portuguese Settlements and Conquests in India, Early English Voyages and Settlements, Early Mohammedan Conquests in India, The Patan or Afghan Dynasty, The Mogul Dynasty to Aurengzebe, AurengzebeDecline of the Mogul Dynasty, British Conquest of the Carnatic.
