A History of the Sikhs: From the Origin of the Nation to the Battles of the Sutlej - Tapa dura

The sheets of this Edition were seen and corrected by their A uthor, and were ready for publication several months previous to his death, in February, 1851. The reasons of a painful, though temporary character for the delay in the appearance of the work will be found in aM emoir already written and to be published hereafter, when regard for the living will no longer interfere with the truth of History. The author fell a victim to the truth related in this book. He wrote History in advance of his time, and suffered for it; but postefity will, I feel assured, do justice to his memory. My brothers anxiety to be correct was evinced in the unceasing labour he took to obtain the most minute information. Wherever he has been proved to be wrong, and this has been in very few instances, he has, with ready frankness, admitted and corrected his error.
