Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from India on the Eve of the British Conquest: A Historical Sketch The following pages contain the substance of a course of lectures delivered at Oxford last year and which had a threefold aim. First, to give such an account of the state of affairs in India, immediately previous to the establishment of British Rule, as seemed essential to a proper appreciation of our historical position in relation to that country and its native Governments; and as might facilitate, in some measure, the formation of just judgments on the character of our earlier Eastern policy. A second object was, to trace the outlines of one of the most remarkable and dramatic revolutions which the world has ever witnessed - the rapid decline and dissolution of the Mogul Empire, and the rise and culmination of the Maratha Power.
