This two-volume work by the Scots orientalist and historian William
Erskine (1773 1852) was published posthumously by his son in 1854.
It describes the history of India under the Mughal rulers Babur and
his son Humayun, descendants of Taimur (Tamburlane), and is
acknowledged as one of the earliest western scholarly accounts of
Mughal rulers in India. Erskine had also translated the Memoirs of
Emperor Babar (1826) and completed John Malcolm's biography of Lord
Clive (1836). Volume 2 deals with the history of Humayun, beginning
with his accession upon his father's death, his expulsion from
India by rivals and his exile in Persia from 1543. He returned in
1555 to his court in Delhi, with Persian support which had a
profound influence on the language, art and culture of India, and
he subsequently extended his empire before dying after a fall in
1556.
