Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Plague in Bombay The Plague of 1896-97 forms an incident of grave importance in the history of the city, and copious records will no doubt soon be published, with facts, figures and a vast multitude of small particulars so as to make such works as complete as possible, and, indeed, very valuable to a student of the subject. It is a question, however, if such records are equally interesting to the general reader. Dry details with labyrinths of figures and long disquisitions have a tendency to pall upon the reader, and only a few can be found with patience enough to read such books through.

Download or read book Bombay in the Making written by Behramji Merwanji Malabari and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-23 with total page 526 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bombay in the Making: Being Mainly a History of the Origin and Growth of Judicial Institutions in the Western Presidency For a century the Portuguese spread the network of their trade and possessions across two oceans from Brazil to China; but their population and resources were alike inadequate to the demands of colonisation and of territorial expansion on a large scale, and to the development of the sea-power necessary to retain the position of vantage which they were the first to secure. Before the final downfall, Portuguese civilisation as introduced into India had suffered eclipse, and in the latter half of the sixteenth century the proceedings of the Inquisition had become abhorrent not only to Indians but to public opinion in Europe. Meanwhile other forces 'were let loose. The defeat of the Armada in 1588 ended the menace of Spain, and the English and the Dutch, left free to undertake maritime enterprise in eastern waters, quickly came into conflict with the decaying power of the Portuguese and subsequently entered upon a long and bitter contest for naval supremacy. The gradual disappear ance of Holland from the roll of great sea-powers, and the entry of France under Louis XIV. Into the lists as the rival of Eng land for eastern dominion, were fraught with important issues affecting the destinies of India. British supremacy, established after the Peace of Utrecht in 1713, was again to be rudely challenged in the long series of great wars which ended in 1814, when for a time the fate of India hung in the balance. Thus intimately, since the advent of the Portuguese, has the history of India been bound up with that of the great forces which convulsed the Western world, swaying from side to side, but ultimately controlled by the power of the sea recognised as a mighty agent in the affairs of nations by Thucydides twenty one centuries ago.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Bombay Place-Names and Street-Names: An Excursion Into the by-Ways of the History of Bombay City This little book has been many years in preparation, and is at last published only because no one else appears to have devoted sufficient time and attention to a subject of which only the fringe has here been touched and which seems to me to be of interest and some importance. A book of this kind ought really to be published only after prolonged research into old leases and deeds. That is beyond my powers but I have none the less thought my less recondite work may be of service. It has steadily grown in scope since I started it as an inquiry into the reason why various English surnames have been given to Bombay roads, but the development has only been possible with the assistance of many gentlemen who have the gift of tongues which has been denied to the author-compiler. Among the many friends whom I have to thank for valued assistance are the Hon. Mr. P. R. Cadell, Mr. S. M. Edwardes (from whose writings also I have freely stolen), Mr. J. P. Orr, the Rev. E. R. Hull, S. J., Mr. R. P. Karkaria, Dr. Jivanji Jamshedji Modi, Mr. R. P. Masani, Rao Bahadur P. B. Joshi, and Mr. Kaikhushroo Pestonji Bhedwar. Mr. Karkaria in particular has been of great assistance to me and has taken the trouble to visit many streets where the origin of the names was doubtful. The method followed needs some explanation. When only one theory is put forward to account for the origin of a name I have not as a rule stated from whom that theory has been obtained, and by this means, if I appear to gain the credit for many ingenious derivations, I can also bear the blame for any grievous faults that may have crept in. When my authorities have conflicted I have usually stated who they are, and the public which pays its money for the book may take its choice as to which derivation is likely to be the more correct. If any family history has been misrepresented I offer my apologies in advance to any who may feel hurt, for I have not wilfully put down anything intended to reflect on anyone's ancestry or history.

Under the roofs of caves they occur in clusters; often containing fifty or more nests, with isolated ones, or small clumps of two or three in close proximity to the central mass. Their nests, which take a long time to construct, are composed of agglutinated saliva, mixed with a few feathers and straws; they are of no particular shape, but if in a hole or other confined place, it necessarily takes its shape they are at times long and narrow, occasionally almost round, but generally they are of an irregular oblong shape. The entrance is a portion of the upper part of the nest left unfinished. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
