Marquess of Dalhousie

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.

“An interesting and exceedingly readable volume. Sir William Hunter has produced a valuable work about an important epoch in English history in India, and has given us a pleasing insight. The ‘Rulers of India’ series, which he has initiated, thus makes a successful beginning in his hands.” – The Times

‘Never have we been so much impressed by the great literary abilities of Sir William Hunter as we have been by the perusal of “The Marquess of Dalhousie.” The knowledge displayed by the writer of the motives of Lord Dalhousie’s action, of the inner working of his mind, is so complete, that Lord Dalhousie himself, were he living, could not state them more clearly… Sir William Hunter’s style is so clear, his language so vivid, and yet so simple, that the work must have a place in every library, in every home, we might say indeed every cottage.’ – Evening News
