The prospect of leisure for several months, during the voyage from India, suggested to the narrator of this narrative the idea of drawing up an account of the last campaign with Tippoo Sultan, from journals and other authentic documents, while the events were recent in his memory. The author has delved deep into the 18th century to explore new avenues what it was like to live during this period by reading the first-hand accounts of everyday people, including city dwellers and farmers, businessmen and bankers, artisans and merchants, artists and their patrons, politicians and their constituents. Original texts make the American, French, and Industrial revolutions vividly contemporary. The below data was compiled from various identification fields in the bibliographic record of this title.
