First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the
nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity,
alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American
academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILLIAMS JACKSON (1862-1937), professor
of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a
highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through
to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of
the British Empire. Volume IX, Historic Accounts of India by
Foreign Travellers, Classic, Oriental, and Occidental, compiled by
the editor, features such entertaining and enlightening selections
as: an account of India by the Greek writer Strabo the practice of
suttee, or widow-burning, in India, according to numerous foreign
accounts a description of India in general by the Chinese Buddhist
pilgrim Hiuan Tsang Al-Biruni's Arabic account of the Hindu
religion an account of the Temple of Somnath by the Persian
geographer Kazvini the Portuguese navigator Vasco da Gama at
Calicut and his reception by the Zamorin Hindu manners and customs
as described by the Dutch missionary Abraham Roger a description of
Bengal by the French voyager Francois Pyrard de Laval Sir Thomas
Roe's first audience with the Great Mogul and much more. This
beautiful replica of the 1906 first edition includes all the
original illustrations.
