Appointed through family influence to the East India Company, Mountstuart Elphinstone arrived on the subcontinent in 1796, quickly learning Persian & developing an interest in Indian civilisation. After postings in Benares, Afghanistan & Poona, he became governor in 1819 of the recently acquired territory that became known as the Bombay Presidency, where he remained until his resignation in 1827. On his return to England, he devoted much of his time to writing & was a founder member of the Royal Geographical Society. This two-volume history, based on a range of Indian sources & first published in 1841, is infused with his lifelong understanding of Indian culture, science & philosophy. A scholarly refutation of James Mill's History, it was the most popular work of its kind among the early Victorian public. Volume 1 contains a topographical introduction & covers the history of the Indian subcontinent to the 13th century.

Mountstuart Elphinstone was a Scottish diplomat and colonial administrator. After joining the civil service of the East India Company in 1796 he was appointed the first British envoy to the Court of Kabul in 1808. In 1819 he was appointed the Governor of Bombay, and after his retirement in 1827 he devoted his life to historical and literary studies. First published in 1815, this volume contains Elphinstone's detailed description of the Kingdom of Afghanistan. Elphinstone describes the geography, economy and political situation of the kingdom and provides a brief account of Afghan history. He also gives the first detailed ethnographic accounts of the various Afghan tribes and ethnic groups in the kingdom. This fascinating volume informed British military and diplomatic policy in the region until the 1840s, and remained the main source of information on the culture of the Afghan tribes for much of the 19th century.
