Excerpt from The History of China and India: Pictorial and Descriptive The history of India embraces four principal eras -the early dominion of the Bramins; the Greek and Moslem invasions; the powerful and splendid empire of the Moguls; and the rise of the British sovereignty in Hindostan, which has long superseded that of the Mogul emperors as the dominant power, and has extended itself over parts of the country that never owned subjection to those mighty monarchs.
