The History of India As Told by Its Own Historians. The Muhammadan Period [The Posthumous Papers of the Late Sir H.M. Elliot]

1867

THIS fourth volume of the History of India traverses the disordered interval between the irruption of Timitr and the culmination of Musulmfin glory under Akbar ; but the thread of the history is not perfect as the annals of some of the reigns have to be drawn from later works and will appear in the succeeding volume. [...] To Sir H. M. Elliot belongs the merit of the whole design and plan of the work and the collection of the mass of the materials ; but a great deal remained to be done in the way of selection and translation at the time of his premature decease. [...] Form of the earth.—The Creation.—Division into Climes — The equator.—Oceans.—Seas.—Rivers.—Mountains.—Countries of Arabia.—Countries of the West.—Cities of the West.— Distances in the Countries of the West.—Andalusia.-Islands of Ram and the Ocean.—Countries of Egypt.—Holy Temples.— Armenia and Syria.—Frangistan.—Mesopotamia.—'Irik.— Khazistin.—Firs and its provinces : Persepolis'; Territories of D [...] Volume I.—Preface.—Reasons for writing the history ; Defnition of history ; Nature of the science benefits of history.— List of the subjects treated of in the 469 sections of this work founded on the work of Muhammad bin Tabari from the Creation down to the Khalifa Muktafi bi-llah.—The remainder of the 'Abbaside Khalifas from the JcimPu-1 Tawitrikh. [...] In the month of Shawwil the army entered the mountains of Sirmor and Prince Muhammad Khan retired to the top of the mountains by hostile roads till he reached the fort of Baknitri.2 The royal army also entered the mountains and when it reached the valley (darra) of Baknari some little fighting followed but the place being strong the prince was not subdued.
