| Editorial Review |
| 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 WILLIAMS 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 VII, Part 2 of From the First European Settlements to the Founding of the English East India Company, by British scholar SIR WILLIAM 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. |
