Historical sketches of the south of India

Authored by Colonel Mark Wilks, this book traces the history of Mysore. The degree of research, acumen, vigour, and elegance, renders this work to be of standard importance in English Literature. This book is the result of the author’s own personal experiences of the people of Southern India and Mysore, and his intimate connection with the two campaigns with which he deals at length, the Third Mysore War, the Fourth Mysore War, and his close touch with all the authorities concerned.
