This extensive eight-volume work was first published between 1867
and 1877 by the linguist John Dowson (1820-81) from the manuscripts
of the colonial administrator and scholar Sir Henry Miers Elliot
(1808-53). Before his death, hoping to bolster British colonial
ideology, Elliot had intended to evaluate scores of Arabic and
Persian historians of India, believing that his translations would
demonstrate the violence of the Muslim rulers and 'make our native
subjects more sensible of the immense advantages accruing to them
under the mildness and the equity of our rule'. Volume 1 contains
introductory material and Elliot's original preface; early Arab
geographers' chronicles, including Ibn Khordadbeh's ninth-century
Book of Roads and Kingdoms and tenth-century works by Estakhri and
Ibn Hawqal; histories of Sindh, including the Chach Nama; and
extensive appendices giving further contextual information and
ethnographic notes on India.
