Henry Beveridge’s A Comprehensive History of India, Civil, Military, and Social (1866) offers an extensive chronicle of India's past, spanning from the earliest periods of Hindustan’s history to the suppression of the Sepoy Revolt of 1857. Published in three volumes by Blackie and Son, London, this work meticulously examines the political, military, and social developments shaped by British rule. Beveridge provides a detailed narrative of the East India Company’s expansion, the governance of colonial administrators, and the complex interactions between Indian society and British imperial interests. With a focus on both historical continuity and pivotal events, the volumes serve as a valuable resource for scholars of colonial history and British-Indian relations.
