Preface
THE objects of the writer of the following pages have been rather to depict India as it is, than to give a fanciful or highly-colored description of its presumed wealth, "pomp and vanity" of its barbaric chiefs, or its European magnates. pen an accurate description of a country so deeply identified with the commercial importance of Great Britain, and to show the natural and acquired advantages which those possessions have gained for us, have been points of the utmost solicitude in this History of India. Where the writer has made selections from others (always with acknowledgment), he has done so from a firm conviction of their accuracy; and if he has altogether rejected some, hitherto deemed of high authority, it is because their prejudices were so apparent as to leave him no alternative. In selecting his subjects, the writer has not paid an undue attention to Art, as if the glories of Nature were secondary and of no esteem; but he has sought to transfer to his pages a faithful description of all her works (in India), whether in her sublimes immensity, or her most minute and delicate beauty; and while giving to Art its fitting place in the scale of Oriental wonders, nothing has been neglected which could increase the interest and amusement of his readers.
