History of Aurangzib, Based on Original Sources v4.c70.63

v4.c70.63

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 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......His account of the invasion of Nadir Shah is a thoroughly good little piece of original work." (8 Oct. 1922.)
