The decline of the great Mughal Raj, the elimination of the foreign elements like the Portugues, the Dutch, the French, and subjugation of the Indian Princes through series of wars, along with establishment of the British rule in India make an interesting study.

This volume deals with the period 1707 to 1813 during which time the British East India Company gradually transformed its trade holds in India into territorial and became a political power. It is an introduction to the next two volumes covering the periods 1813-1920 and 1920-1947 respectively. The readers will find the simplicity of style a great asset in the study of the history of this period.
