This book brings together in English translation for the first time
the two editions of Sir Syed Ahmed Khan's classic account of the
monuments and environs of the pre-colonial city of Delhi, titled in
Urdu Asar-us-Sanadid (The Remnants of Ancient Heroes). The
translator provides a commentary in the form of annotations and
appendices that demonstrates the historical development of the text
between 1847 and 1854, also reflecting the life of its subject,
Delhi, which was to be irreversibly transformed by the cataclysmic
events of 1857. The volume includes sketches based on the
lithographs in the first Urdu edition. The translation fills a
crucial lacuna in the historical archive for nineteenth-century
Delhi and will be a valuable resource for urban historians and
students of Delhi's monumental history.
