Though the book is primarily intended for the Student, from the upper classes of schools all through the stages of College, University, Military, and Civil Service studies and examinations in England, Scotland, Ireland, and India alike, it is much more. Its generalisations as well as details will enable the ordinary reader, probably for the first time, to form a just idea of the magnitude of the British Indian Empire ; of the variety of its races, and all that concerns peoples more numerous than those of Europe ; of the course of the history of every Province and even District when under native rulers ; of the splendid and widespread archceological and architectural remains of these rulers ; and of the success of the British Government, thus far, in making the Empire a unity for the first time in history ; so that by detailed administration; education, and free religious suasion, its two hundred and fifty-three millions may be trained to govern themselves.
