First published in 1906, this classic nine-volume history of the
nation of India places it among the storied lands of antiquity,
alongside Egypt, China, and Mesopotamia. Edited by American
academic ABRAHAM VALENTINE WILLIAMS JACKSON (18621937), professor
of Indo-Iranian languages at Columbia University, it offers a
highly readable narrative of the Indian people and culture through
to the time of its publication, when the nation was still part of
the British Empire. Volume VI, Part 1 of From the First European
Settlements to the Founding of the English East India Company, by
British scholar SIR WILLIAM WILSON HUNTER (1840-1900), features
entertaining and enlightening treatments of: the closing of the old
trade paths the quest for India by sea the struggle between
Christendom and Islam for the Indian seas the Portuguese policy in
the East Englands attempts to reach India in the 16th century the
constitution of the first English East Indian Company and more.
