Earl Amherst

Cosmo Publications is pleased to announce the publication of this classic Series of 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. 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 reviews we have included here

Reviews:
‘Perhaps the brightest volume in the valuable series to which it belongs… The chapter on “The English in India in Lord Amherst’s Governor-Generalship” should be studied by those who wish to understand how the country was governed in 1824.’-Quarterly Review.

‘The book will be ranked among the best in the series, both on account of the literary skill shown in its composition and by reason of the exceptional interest of the material to which the authors have had access’.-St. James’s Gazette.
