History of the Mahrattas Vol.I

Captain James Grant Duff’s History of the Mahrattas, published in three volumes in 1826, is the first serious attempt to write a comprehensive history of the Mahrattas. It is a scholarly piece of work undertaken with great tenacity, and anyone who wants to study the evolution of the modern period of Indian history cannot do so without Duff, because no student of Indian History can overlook the fact that it was all about the Mahrattas. This book gives a comprehensive history of their extended empire from the south as far as Tanjore, including Mysore, and extends to the north which includes Gujarat, Malwa, and Bundelkhand.
