*Times of India* (Bombay)—Sir Jadunath Sarkar approaches his task in the scientific and impartial spirit which characterizes all his work . . . The learned author claims to have synthesized for the first time the Persian, Marathi, French, English, Hindi, Rajasthani and Sanskrit sources. Students of Maratha history will particularly welcome the valuable and original chapters [3 and 4] on the Maratha incursions into Bengal, replete with new material bearing upon a hitherto little-known chapter of Maratha history. Indeed, one of the most valuable features of this scholarly and erudite work is the light which it throws upon the Marathas in Northern India : Sir Jadunath Sarkar’s additions to our knowledge in this field of investigation form a valuable commentary on the Maratha accounts of these events.
