One of a group of some 70 works read mainly while journeying, with Edward Strachey, between a post in Benares and his next posting in Poona. Title is probably 'A history of the military transactions of the British nation in Indostan, from the year MDCCXLV. To which is prefixed A dissertation on the establishments made by Mahomedan conquerors in Indostan?' |
