Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rise of the British Power in the East Mr. Elphinstone´s ´History of India,´ which appeared in 1841, closes with the battle of Paniput, fought in 1765, on which occasion the Marattas, whose power was then at its zenith, suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Ahmed Shah Durrdni, supported by the Mahometan princes of Northern India. The conquerors were unable to follow up their victory; the Afghan prince returned to his dominions beyond the Indus, and the territory, which was formerly comprised in the Mogul Empire, was broken up into separate States. Here, therefore, the author observed, the history of the Mogul Empire closes of itself. It appears from the author´s journals that he had made considerable progress in a third volume prior to the former publication, but his labours had been interrupted by attacks of illness, and soon after the resumption of his work his health gave way, and led to its final abandonment. Other causes contributed to interfere with its completion. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
