Dupleix and the Empire of India (Classic Reprint)

The Indian Empire. The military adventurer has, in all ages, been a prominent figure in I ndia; and history of that country derives much of its interest from the remarkable characters and brilliant achievements of such men, and their commanding influence on the fortunes of a community discordant in race, national sentiment, and religion, weak in political institutions and public spii;it, and hence peculiarly liable to revolutions wrought out by the sword. Thus, without citing earlier instances, the Mogul empire was founded, undermined and laid low by three representatives of this class, each well suited to his mission, and all memorable for the wild romance of their exploits.
