Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Sketches of the South of India, Vol. 2: In an Attempt to Trace the History of Mysoor; From the Origin of the Hindoo Government of That State, to the Extinction of the Mohammedan Dynasty in 1799; Founded Chiefly on Indian Authorities Collected by the Author While Officiating for Several Years As When an interval of several years has elapsed, between the publication of a first and second volume, the readers of the work may think themselves entitled to some explanation of the causes of delay. There was no affectation in the original announcement, that the appearance of a second volume, or the entire abandonment of the design, would depend on the reception of the first; and I waited the event with entire resignation. Those periodical publications, which influence public opinion, and may be deemed its organs, were not early in their notice of the first volume: but there is, if possible, less affectation in declaring, that their approbation, when it did appear, exceeded my expectations. The work was resumed, but no considerable progress had been made, when it was interrupted, by a call of public duty to a foreign station, from which I only returned in June, 1816 ;and by subsequent causes, improper to be obtruded on public notice, which unhappily fixed my mind on other cares.
