An Historical Relation of the Origin, Progress, and Final Dissolution of the Government of the Rohilla Afgans: In the Northern Provinces of Hindostan

This book contain that concise history of the Rohilla Afghans, who played a significant role in the Northern Provinces of Hindostan for some time, is now presented to the world after many years. This historical account was compiled from a Persian manuscript and other original papers. Since the events it describes no longer arouse the passions and interests of people, it is hoped that it will be received with more impartiality and kindness. The histories of the Hindoos depict an independent and organized form of government and legislation that existed over most of the vast Hindostan area long before the European chronology. They describe a people who were flourishing in all aspects of civilized life, brave, active, and cultured at a time when most of humanity was believed to have sunk into the depths of barbarism, with very few exceptions.
