Excerpt: ... the danger to which we should be exposed by any attempt to interfere with the religious prejudices of the natives. Our strength consists in the want of energy and the disunion of our enemies. There is but one talisman that, while it animated and united them all, would leave us without a single adherent--this talisman is the name of religion, a power so odious that it is astonishing our enemies have not more frequently and systematically employed it against us." He did not fear any direct attempt of Government to convert the natives; what ho dreaded was the suspicion arising from ordinary and indifferent actions that it was disposed to encourage such an object. Prophetic words, that alas! were but too truly realised! The consciousness of danger was ignored, the army hy mismanagement turned against us iu the name of religion, and well-nigh the whole work of a century of conquest had to be done over again after the tempest of 1857. Notwithstanding his conviction of the mighty foundations upon which the British empire in India rested, Elphinstone did not regard as an axiom its absolute permanency. In his earlier days he spoke of it as ephemeral, but his opinion considerably altered as he grew older. When he heard of the mutiny of the sepoys ordered to Burma, he wrote--" I used to think our empire made of glass: but when one considers 'the rough usage it has stood, both in old times and recent, one is apt to think it is made of iron. I believe it is of steel, which cuts everything if you keep its edge even; but it is very apt to snap short if it falls into unskilful hands." He deprecated entirely all extension of territories beyond India; and from a man who had conducted an embassy to Kabul, and made that country his study, his words are of...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of the Bombay Presidency A brief introductory sketch has been given of the time before the roll of European conquest to the East, and a more detailed description of the course of events between the coming of the Portuguese and ourselves. I have written a tolerably full account of the process by which the West of India came under the British flag, bringing in what happened in other parts of the Peninsula so far only as to elucidate the events that took place in Bombay. With this object, and to give a greater degree of continuity to the narrative, there runs through the book a short account of the supreme power whether at Delhi or Calcutta.

Book excerpt: Nominated for an Edgar Award for Best First Novel! In 19th century Bombay, Captain Jim Agnihotri channels his idol, Sherlock Holmes, in Nev March’s Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning debut. In 1892, Bombay is the center of British India. Nearby, Captain Jim Agnihotri lies in Poona military hospital recovering from a skirmish on the wild northern frontier, with little to do but re-read the tales of his idol, Sherlock Holmes, and browse the daily papers. The case that catches Captain Jim's attention is being called the crime of the century: Two women fell from the busy university’s clock tower in broad daylight. Moved by Adi, the widower of one of the victims — his certainty that his wife and sister did not commit suicide — Captain Jim approaches the Parsee family and is hired to investigate what happened that terrible afternoon. But in a land of divided loyalties, asking questions is dangerous. Captain Jim's investigation disturbs the shadows that seem to follow the Framji family and triggers an ominous chain of events. And when lively Lady Diana Framji joins the hunt for her sisters’ attackers, Captain Jim’s heart isn’t safe, either. Based on a true story, and set against the vibrant backdrop of colonial India, Nev March's Minotaur Books/Mystery Writers of America First Crime Novel Award-winning lyrical debut, Murder in Old Bombay, brings this tumultuous historical age to life.
