Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from With Clive in India, or the Beginnings of an Empire My Dear Lads, - In the following pages I have endeavored to give you a vivid picture of the wonderful events of the ten years, which at their commencement saw Madras in the hands of the French - Calcutta at the mercy of the Nabob of Bengal - and the English influence apparently at the point of extinction in India - and which ended in the final triumph of the English both in Bengal and Madras. There were yet great battles to be fought, great efforts to be made, before the vast Empire of India fell altogether into British hands; but these were but the sequence of the events I have described. The historical details are, throughout the story, strictly accurate, and for them I am indebted to the history of these events written by Mr, Orme, who lived at that time, to the Lite of Lord Clive, recently published by Lieutenant-colonel Malleson, and to other standard authorities. In this book I have devoted a somewhat smaller space to the personal adventures of my hero than in my other historical tales, but the events themselves were of such a thrilling and exciting nature that no deeds of fiction could surpass them.
