Cosmo Publications is pleased to announce the publication of the second part of this Classic Series on Indian history. These books are authentic documents from the past that are as valid and as useful today as when they were written, or even more so. These are books that have come to acquire a stature which was not apparent when they were published. Edited by the leading Indologist of his time – W. W. Hunter – the titles in this series reflect some of the best biographies ever attempted on the men who ruled India. Mr. Hunter indeed made sure that the task of writing the individual title was entrusted to the most suitable person as is amply reflected by the choice of the authors for the purpose. That the titles are indeed classics is clearly demonstrated by some of the press reviews included here.

A total of twenty-four volumes are now available.

‘We hope that the volumes on the “Rulers of India” series are carefully read by a large section of the public. We strongly recommend the book to all who wish to enlarge the area of their knowledge with reference to India’ – New York Herald

‘Mr. Hutton has brought to his task an open mind, a trained historical judgment, and a diligent study of a great body of original material. Hence he is enabled to present a true, authentic, and original portrait of one of the greatest of Anglo-Indian statesmen, doing full justice to his military policy and achievements, and also to his efforts for the organization and consolidation of that Empire which he did so much to sustain.’ – Times.
