""A Familiar History of British India"" is a comprehensive account of the British colonization of India, from its earliest period to the transfer of government to the British Crown in 1858. Written by Joachim Hayward Stocqueler, the book covers the political, economic, and social aspects of British rule in India, including the East India Company's establishment and expansion, the Indian Rebellion of 1857, and the subsequent transfer of power to the British government. Stocqueler's writing is accessible and engaging, making it a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of British India. Published in 1859, the book provides a unique perspective on a significant period in India's history and the impact of British imperialism on the subcontinent.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
