Book Description

About the Book In this book, the author elucidates "The Princes of India: An Historical Narrative of the Principal Events from the Invasion of Mahmoud of Ghizni to that of Nadir Shah." The content encompasses various aspects, including the early history of India, the knowledge and philosophy of the Brahmins, the concept of caste, the adherence to "immemorial custom," the pantheon of Hindu deities, the tenets of Buddha and Brahma, the significance of the Vedas, and the institutions governing men. Additionally, the narrative delves into India's economic interactions with Arabia, governmental structures, Persian influence, and the period of Mahmoud's ascendancy to the Ghizni Empire. Inspired by journeys through India and Ceylon, Sullivan's pages, while not explicitly positioning themselves as historical, aspire to kindle curiosity about the country's abundant chronicles, unparalleled in natural grandeur. He underscores the prominence of India's eminent figures-sovereigns, warriors, and statesmen-with the aim of nurturing a heightened appreciation for its historical importance.

About the Author Edward Sullivan (1826-1899), a versatile scholar, penned several notable works, including "The Bungalow and the Tent," offering insights into Ceylon, and "The Conquerors, Warriors, & Statesmen of India," a historical narrative spanning from Mahmoud of Ghizni to Nader Shah. His diverse publications cover topics like politics, economics, and social issues, as seen in "Stray Shots," addressing political, military, and economic aspects. Sullivan's writings also touch on themes such as protectionism, as evident in "Protection to Native Industry," reflecting his engagement with the intellectual currents of his time.

Preface LORD MACAULAY's unrivalled essays on Clive and Warren Hastings contain the following passages: "The people of India, when we subdued them, were ten times as numerous as the Americans whom the Spaniards vanquished, and were at the same time quite as highly civilized as the victorious Spaniards. They had raised cities larger and fairer than Saragossa or Toledo, and buildings more beautiful and costly than Seville. They could show bankers richer than the richest firms of Barcelona or Cadiz, Viceroys whose splendor far sur-passed that of Ferdinand the Catholic, myriads of cavalry, and long trains of artillery, which would have astonished the Great Captain. "The empire which Baber and his Moguls reared in the sixteenth century was long one of the most extensive and splendid in the world. In no European kingdom was so large a population subject to a single prince, or so large a revenue poured into the treasury. The beauty and magnificence of the buildings erected by the sovereigns of Hindustan amazed even travelers who had seen St. Peter's. The innumerable retinues and gorgeous decorations which surrounded the throne of Delhi dazzled even eyes which were accustomed to the pomp of Versailles. Some of the great Viceroys, who held their post by virtue of commission from the Mogul, ruled as many subjects as the King of France or the Emperor of Germany. Even the deputies of these deputies might well rank, as to extent of territory and amount of revenue, with the Grand Duke of Tuscany, or the Elector of Saxony!"
