A History of the Sikhs: From the Origin of the Nation to the Battles of the Sutlej (Classic Reprint)

One who possesses no claims to systematic scholarship, and who nevertheless asks the public to approve of his labors in a field of some difficulty, is bound to show to his readers that he has at least had fair means of obtaining accurate information and of coming to just conclusions. Towards the end of the year 1837, the Author received, through the unsolicited favour of Lord A uckland, the appointment of assistant to Colonel Wade, the political agent at Loodiana, and the officer in charge of theB ritish relations with the Punjab and the chiefs of A fghanistan. He was at the same time required as an engineer officer, to render Feerozpoor a defensible post, that little place having been declared a feudal escheat, and itsposition being regarded as one of military importance.
