About the Book :- The author has delved deep into the pages of the history to highlight the facts of East India Company. It gives a summary of the rise and progress of the colonial period of British in India, and their gradual transformation from traders to rulers. The British Empire on the continent of Asia is without a parallel in the history of the world: a generation has scarcely passed away since a few English merchants skirted the coasts of the far famed peninsula of Hindostan, as humble suppliants to establish mercantile residencies on its fertile and wealthy shores, amidst myriads of brave and comparatively civilized men. The latter half of the book is devoted to geological, ethnological, and linguistic information, along with notices on flora and fauna. There are 11 chapters in this book, that offer, among other aspects, descriptions of the rise and progress of the British, conquests of Bengal, and parts of western India, Madras presidency, Tipu Sultan, protected states, physical aspects, Geology, varieties of timber, population, different languages, etc.
