This historic book may have numerous typos, missing text or index. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. 1876. Not illustrated. Excerpt: ... mohurs to the Begum Sahib. His presents secured Chapter Vi. him pardon and reward.81 The so-called history of the reum of Shah Jehan obscurity 0f the reign. may be told in a few words. It lasted thirty years. It began in wars for the establishment of his authority. It ended in wars for the subversion of his authority. The interval is a blank; it was doubtless filled up with revolts and treacheries, such as those already recorded, such as those which were at work throughout the reign of Jehangfr. The only authentic narrative that has been preserved is Catrou's history of the reign of Shah Jehan based upon the memoirs of Manouchi. Probably there was nothing worth preserving. Catrou's history chiefly refers to the great war which broke out between the four sons of Shah Jehan during the last years of the reign. Shah Jehan spent the cool months at Agra, the Nomade court, hot months at Kashmfr. His life in both cities was the same. To all appearance it was frittered away in public shows and private debaucheries. He had no taste for literature; he cared not for learned men. He delighted in the bloodiest combats, the coarsest farces, the grossest obscenities.22 21 Tavernier's Travels in India, Hook i. chap. 2. Tavernier speaks of gold rupees; he values them at sixteen rupees each; he is evidently referring to gold mohurs. The two bribes aggregated more than a hundred thousand pounds sterling. Tavernier was as much smitten with the mania for flatter)' as later historians. He tells the tale of tyranny and bribery from his own experience; in another place he says that Shah Jehan was the father of his people. It is easy to account for this base flattery. Tavernier was a jeweller; he complains bitterly of the obstructions of Aurungzcb; he had found no difficult...

Excerpt from The History of India From the Earliest Ages, Vol. 1 More than a century has passed away since the rise Of British ascendancy in India, and yet a history which should combine a tolerably exhaustive review of the religion and civilization of the Hindus, together with an exposition of the policy which has hitherto guided the British Govern ment in its dealings with Native powers, is still a deside ratum in European literature. Accordingly this task has been attempted during a residence of some years in the country, under circumstances peculiarly favourable to its accomplishment; and in announcing the early publication of the first three volumes, it seems desirable to indicate the general character and scope of the entire work. The materials for the History of India may be indicated under three distinct heads, viz. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of India From the Earliest Ages, Vol. 3 The present volume is complete in itself. It tells the history of India from a Hindu, Buddhist, and Brahmanical point of view. It starts from the remotest antiquity, and reaches right down to the appearance of the English in the Eastern seas. It does not deal with the Mussulman conquest or the Mussulman empire; as those subjects can scarcely be treated thoroughly, until the Hindu people have been well brought upon the stage; and although the history of Mussulman India has an intrinsic value and importance of its own, which entitle it to separate consideration, it throws little or no light upon the religious and social development of the Hindus. Whilst, however, the present work is complete in itself, it also forms the third volume of the history of India, the publication of which was begun as far back as 1867. It may therefore be advisable to describe more precisely the plan which was originally adopted for preparing a complete history of India, and the progress which has since been made towards its completion.
