The Persian chronicler Ferishta (1560-1620) composed his great
work, published in this four-volume English translation in 1829, at
the court of Bijapur - where he spent most of his life - under the
patronage of King Ibrahim Adil Shah II. It covers Muslim India from
around 975 to 1612 and is notable for its balance, despite
Ferishta's close involvement with some of the events and people he
records. In the translator's preface, East India Company officer
John Briggs (1785-1875) highlights the danger of misconceptions
about the people of India and the importance of religious policy in
the success or failure of her various governments. Volume 1
includes introductory matter, a chapter on pre-Muslim India,
histories of the Ghaznavid kings of Lahore, and information on the
rulers of Delhi. Also included is Briggs' valuable comparative
chronology of events in Europe and India.

genealogical tables and notes, as well as a comparative chronology
of events in Europe and India. Volume 2 examines the descendants of
Timur (or Tamerlane) and the founding by Babur of the Mughal
dynasty in the early sixteenth century. It also contains coverage
of the kings of the Deccan to the dissolution of the Bahmani
sultanate after 1518.

the five Deccan sultanate states from 1518. This includes Briggs'
own valuable account of the history of the kings of Golkonda and a
chronology of the Portuguese wars in India. The coverage of the
Adil Shahi dynasty of Bijapur in the sixteenth century notably
draws on Ferishta's first-hand knowledge.

Gujarat, Malwa, Khandesh, Bengal and Bihar, Jaunpur, and Multan.
There are also histories of Sindh and Kashmir. A comparative
chronology of the minor kingdoms that eventually became part of the
Mughal empire is included, and Briggs' appendices provide
glossaries of names and places.
Both record and celebration, this collection of photographs
documents 30 years of change in the Welsh town of Newport. All
aspects of life in a modern city are carefully showcased, including
architecture, business and economic activity, sports, religious
life, and the arts. Due to Newport's rapidly changing landscape and
character, these images show buildings and neighborhoods now gone
while also capturing the excitement of Newport's newest
architecture.
In the last thirty years landmark buildings have been demolished,
docks filled in, the barrage built, maritime businesses closed, and
streets disappeared. In their place, a huge redevelopment scheme,
gentrification, and tourism. Among the frantic activity, local
communities face up to their changing landscape, with the
implications it brings. With characteristic honesty and an eye for
compelling detail, John Briggs brings these changes to a wider
audience in this not to be missed book.
