Riyazu-S-Salatin a History of Bengal

The History of Bengal cannot fail to be of special interest not only to Hindus and Musalpaans in Bengal, but also to Englishmen, in that Bengal formed the foundation-stone of the glorious fabric of Empire in Asia that England was destined in subsequent years to rear on the wreck of the mighty Empire of the ' Great Mogul.' Yet Histories of Bengal are very few. From the Muhammadan side, though there are plenty of General Histories of India, containing incidental references to Bengal, or dealing with particular periods of it, there is no general or comprehensive History of Bengal, save and except the Riyazu-s-Salatin.
