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 5 charts the
end of the Afghan dynasty in 1526 and most of the reign of Akbar,
as frankly recounted in Abd-ul-Qadir Bada'uni's
Muntakhab-ut-Tawarikh (1595). It also includes chronicles of the
rule of the second Mughal emperor, Humayun (1508-56), and the
Tarikh-i-Akbari. The appendices contain Elliot's notes on aspects
of Indian culture.
