Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Chronology of Modern India: For Four Hundred Years From the Close of the Fifteenth Century A. D. 1494 1894 A work of reference containing the principal Fasti of Indian History from the time when European intercourse and commercial relations began with the East, on the discovery of the Cape of Good Hope near the close of the fifteenth century, has been felt as a desideratum by students and readers. For the earlier history the excellent manual of C. Mabel Duff (Mrs W. R. Rickmers) published 1899, supplied a much felt want, and the present volume forms the complement to that work, - the two forming a continuous chronology of events in India from the earliest times till the present. About eight years ago materials for the volume were collected from the historical works of Orme, Briggs´s Ferishta, Elliot and Dowson, Mill and Wilson, Grant-Duff, Elphinstone, Marshman, Malleson, Kaye, Holmes, Danvers, Phayre, Trotter, and others - too numerous to mention. These were arranged in 1907, but laid aside. In now revising it for the press, much of it has been rewritten and considerably extended. By writers of the eighteenth and most part of last century, Indian personal and place names were written in every variety of spelling - often in forms now scarcely recognisable. To avoid the confusion of such irregularities, proper names are here represented in general accordance with the system in use in the recent Gazetteers and Maps of the Indian Government and in several recent historical works.
