New History of the Marathas v1.c2.11

v1.c2.11

A studied attempt has been made to weave into the narrative ample citations from original authorities. This appeared to be the only way of making the reader acquainted with the pith and essence of the Marathi papers. So far as possible the sources have been indicated in the foot-notes, though, it must be admitted, the materials are so varied and extensive that it is not possible to quote chapter and verse evidence in every case. As a supplementary attempt the reader’s attention may be invited to the author’s “Main Currents of Maratha History” published a few years ago. In it have been discussed some of the outstanding and debatable questions arising out of the past life of the Maratha people.
