One of the many famous 'administrator-historians' of India, James
Grant Duff (1789 1858), Captain of the First Regiment of Bombay
Native Infantry, first arrived in India as a cadet at the age of
sixteen. Quickly mastering the Marathi, Urdu, and Persian
languages, Duff became well known for his ability to cut through
the cultural divide, and was regarded as a valuable resource for
the East India Company's expansion of trade. His wide-ranging
network of connections enabled him to obtain unrestricted access to
state papers, documents and temple archives. Consequently, Duff's
history is comprehensive and thorough; it served as the best
history of its kind for decades. This third and final volume covers
the years 1784 to 1819, beginning with the dispute over Nurgood and
ending with the final reduction and settlement of the Maratha
territory.
