Seller's Description:
Fine. 1st printing of facsimile reprint. Cloth. 494pp. Bibliography. First published in 1906. This book is a biography of people and history associated with INDIA, not American Indians. Fine. No dj, probably as issued.
This is a reference book and is perfect for those people doing genealogy where a person appears with a relative 'stationed in India'
The data makes internet a very simple matter to gain names of spouses and offspring
It also covers the data of all the Indigenous Indian people who had any form of influence over the immigrant English during an era of historical change
As a paper-made book it can be held, book-paged and kept in place without the cost of electricity, spellings can be checked and cross-checked because the data remains static and available 24/7
For historical notes this data begins at the commencement of the English Empire which included the East India Co
For personal pleasure it gives a form of history on a subject that is no longer easily found anywhere
