The Political And Statistical History Of Gujarat

About the Book:-The author reveals that Mohammedan historians generally tire the patience of the reader by too minute a detail of sieges and battles, of murder and intrigue, without relieving the fatiguing sameness of their narratives, by the more pleasing and instructive accounts of individual character, or the policy and domestic manners of a people.
