History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v3.c55.114

v3.c55.114

PIONEER. —"Prof. Sarkar has done good service to the cause of scholarship in bringing Mr. Irvine's book up to date. Indeed, it is only fitting that the historian of Aurangzib, whose KNOWLEDGE OF INDIA during the earlier years of the 18th century IS PROBABLY UNEQUALLED among living scholars, should have undertaken the logical completion of the work by which he has gained an honourable place in the fane of History...... Prof. Sarkar writes a clear, natural, and easy English...... His account of the invasion of Nadir Shah is a THOROUGHLY GOOD little piece of original work." (8 Oct. 1922).
