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. More specific than the first, this
second volume covers the years 1740 to 1785, focusing on the
increasing influence of Europeans, and the political relations
between governors of different states and between the native
population and the English.
