Henry T. Prinsep (1792-1878) began his career in India with the
East India Company in 1807 and worked in various posts, finally
being appointed Persian secretary before retiring in 1843.
Throughout his career, and into his retirement, he wrote a number
of books about India. The present work, however, published in 1834,
is a report taken from information gathered by the late political
agent at Umbala, Captain William Murray, whose death made it
necessary for other officials to ready the work for publication.
The report looks at the history of the Sikh people and the rise of
Runjeet (Ranjit) Singh (1780-1839). After Singh died, his empire
began to weaken, and by 1845 the British were at war with the
Sikhs. This work provides a view of the Punjab during a critical
point in its history.
