Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A History of the Maratha People, Vol. 3 I now offer to the public the third volume of A History of the Maratha People, which I have dedicated like the others to the Maratha People. I decided to write the book as far back as 1913, after assuring myself of the collaboration of Rao Bahadur D. B. Parasnis. I owe him a deep debt of thanks for the help which he has given me, and for the infinite courtesy with which he has always soothed my impatience. He is solely responsible for Appendix B, Chapter LXVIII on Ram Shastri and the Peshwa´s justice. I have also received the greatest help from Mr. Sardesai´s admirable Riyasat, a copy of which he very kindly sent me. The Chief of Ichalkaranji has been throughout most sympathetic, and has often lent me books that without his help I could not have obtained. My thanks are also due to Rao Bahadur Sane, who has laid all students of Indian history under a great obligation by the publication of the Peshwa´s Bakhar and other ancient Maratha chronicles. Lastly, my most grateful thanks are due to the Government of H. H. The Maharaja of Baroda, the Government of H. H. The Maharaja of Kolhapur, and to the Chiefs of Sangli, Ichalkaranji, Bhor, Aundh, and Miraj senior, for their generous support. As regards the arrangement of the third volume, it may be objected that I have compressed into too small a space the reign of Bajirao II. This I have done deliberately. My work is primarily for Indian readers, and to them the glorious period of the Maratha kingdom will, I think, prove more interesting than its decline and fall. Maratha pre-eminence ended with the death of Madhavrao II. After the treaty of Bassein the Peshwa became a subordinate ally of the English. English readers who wish to read in more detail the events of Bajirao´s reign will find them described at great length in Grant Duff. His immortal History of the Mahrattas, admirably edited by Mr. S. M. Edwardes, C.S.I., C.V.O., has recently been republished by the Oxford University Press. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
