Encyclopaedia of Indian Rulers (12 Vols.)

by W.W.Hunter

The titles in this series reflect some of the best biographies ever attempted. Mr. Hunter indeed made sure that task of writing the individual title was entrusted to the most suitable person as is amply reflected by the choice of the authors for the purpose.REVIEWS: "No man knows the policy, principles, and character of John Lawrence better than Sir Charles Aitchison. the salient features and vital principles of his work as a ruler, first in the Punjab, and afterwards as Viceroy, are set fort with remarkable clearness." --SCOTSMAN"Sir Charles Aitchison's narrative is uniformly marked by directness, order, clearness, and grasp; it throws additional light into certain nooks of Indian affaris; and it leaves upon the mind a very vivid and complete impression of Lord Lawrence's vigorous, resourceful, discerning, and valiant personality." --NEWCASTLE DAILY CHRONICLE
