In the field of medieval Indian historiography, an eight-volume
magnum opus, History of India as Told by Its Own Historians, by Sir
Henry Myers Elliot (1808-53) and the editor-compiler of his
posthumous papers, John Dowson (1820-81), was published from London
between 1867 and 1877. These landmark volumes continue to retain
their popularity even nearly hundred and fifty years later, and
scholars still learn from and conduct their research on the basis
of this work. However, an enterprise of this scale and magnitude
was bound to suffer from some serious shortcomings. An eminent
Indian scholar, S.H. Hodivala undertook the daunting task of
annotating Elliot and Dowson's volumes and worked through all the
new material, selecting or criticizing and adding his own
suggestions where previous comments did not exist or appeared
unsuitable. The first volume of Hodivala's annotated Studies, was
published in 1939, while the second was published posthumously in
1957. Over the years, while the work of Elliot and Dowson has seen
many reprints, and is even available online now, Hodivala's volumes
have receded into obscurity. A new edition is presented here for
the first time. Hodivala also published critical commentaries on
238 of about 2000 entries included in another very famous work,
Hobson-Jobson (London, 1886) by Sir Henry Yule (1820-89) and Arthur
Coke Burnell (1840-82). These have also been included in the
present edition. These volumes are thus aimed at serving as an
indispensable compendium of both, Elliot and Dowson's, and for Yule
and Burnell's excellent contributions of colonial scholarship. At
the same time these would also serve as a guide for comparative
studies and critical appreciation of historical texts. Please note:
