History of India, in Nine Volumes by William Wilson Hunter Sir
First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity, alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILIAMS JACKSON (1862-1937), professor of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of the British Empire. Volume VI, Part 2 of From the First European Settlements to the Founding of the English East India Company, by British scholar SIR WILIAM WILSON HUNTER (1840-1900), features entertaining and enlightening treatments of: - the separate voyages of the Company - the struggle with the Portuguese - the struggle between the English and the Dutch over the Eastern Archipelago - the tragedy of Amboyna - the Company and the King - first English settlements on the Bengal, Madras, and Bombay coasts - and more. This beautiful replica of the 1906 first edition includes all the original illustrations.| SKU | Unavailable |
