A 



Comprehensive History of India, 



CIVIL, MILITARY, AND SOCIAL.' 



From the Karliest Period, to Recent Tiines. 

 By henry BBVERIDGE, Esq. 



"This elaborate mul 

 able work ia induetl 

 more comprelieasive 

 than its title would 

 imply, for it gives us, 

 with philosophical dis- 

 crimination, the an- 

 cient, mediiBval, and 

 modem history of a 

 most singular people. 

 .... The numerous 

 engravings on wood 

 and steel, remarkable 

 for their beauty and 

 fidelity, contribute 



greatly to the interest 

 and even to the in- 

 structive power of the 

 work." — Examiner. 



"The writing is clear 

 and easy ; and in addi- 

 tion to these elements 

 of popularity, it is 

 further elucidated by 

 a profusion of maps 

 and woodcuts, many 

 of the latter very fine." 

 — Scotsman. 



' ' I will take this 

 opportunity of saying 

 that I never met with 

 a work more conscien- 

 tiously done. It evi- 

 dences a great deal of 

 hard work, and a vast 

 amount of acute obser- 

 vation. Altogether it 

 is deserving of a large 

 sale. ' ' — The Times of
