A Text-Book of Indian History: With Geographical Notes, Genealogical Tables, Examination Questions, and Chronological, Biographical, Geographical, and General Indexes (Classic Reprint)

This book is strictly a manual for students, and everything has been sacrificed to the one object of making it thoroughly useful in this way. The author has long been engaged in educational pursuits in I ndia, and has had considerable experience of the requirements of the Indian Universities ;and he has aimed chiefly at producing such a manual as might be sufficient for those who are preparing for these University Examinations. Even for others, however, it may be found useful, as containing a carefully digested epitome of the subject. The difficulty of bringing so wide a subject within convenient limits has been very great; hence the author has felt it necessary, in general, to omit anecdotes and details of sieges and battles, and to say what be had to say in the fewest possible words. It is to be hoped that those who use this text-book will be induced to read for themselves the very excellent works in which almost everything connected with Indian history is to be found. The chief of these are indicated below. Tbe writer bas made use of them freely; while he has tried to go to the very sources of information where he could do so, he advances no claim to originality.
