An Historical Sketch Of The Native States Of India In Subsidiary Alliance With The British Government

About the Book:- The affairs of India command at present an interest far greater than was bestowed upon them at any previous time. This is as true of that not inconsiderable portion of the country which still remains under native rulers as of the larger portion which has come under the direct sway of the British government. The country has passed through various stages of its political history, and these afford useful subjects of study to the historian and to the statesman. The book is the product of extensive study of this topic. The subject of the book is very interesting and delicate. There is no statement in the book to which exception may justly be taken. The six maps require a word of explanation. These are confined to the history of Delhi and surrounding area. The book will be immensely beneficial to the students of the ancient history and literature. Though the book is a rare one, it may be recognized even by those who dissent from the authors’ point of view. About the Author:- Malleson was born in Wimbledon.
