This work, reprinted from the 1901 Census of India Series in 1902,
examines the growth of the great Indian port city, giving
contemporary statistics as well as recounting its long history
before and during British rule (the East India Company had begun
trading there in the 1660s). The editor, Stephen Meredyth Edwardes
(1873 1927), was a civil servant based in Bombay. Using sources
from travellers' accounts to official documents, this work tells
the story of Bombay, 'one of the most splendid of Imperial Cities',
as Edwardes describes it. Starting in prehistoric times, he
discusses the topography of the city, its prosperity through trade
and its early rulers, before moving on to the significance of
Hinduism and Islam, the arrival of the Portuguese and finally the
establishment of British rule. Illustrated with maps and
photographs, this work gives a vivid history of the development of
one of India's most important cities.
