A well illustrated book about the various arm and armour that have been use in the east. For want of a volume describing the subject, the author wrote this book. It starts with a sketch of the military history of India from the earliest invasions up to the first Burmese war of 1824. It then gives a descriptive catalogue of Indian Arms with introductory notes on styles of decoration, processes of manufacture and ethnological characteristics. Various areas are described in separate chapters. The descriptions are complimented with a map, 23 full page illustrations and numerous wood cuts. This book was first published in 1896.

Originally created in the late 19th century to catalog Indian and Oriental arms and armor for a British museum, this volume has long since become a sourcebook of vital information on the military history of India. Enhanced with excellent illustrations, it remains one of the few books available on the subject, providing factual accounts of events ranging from the earliest invasions of the subcontinent in 200 B.C. to the decline of the Mogul Empire (early 18th century) and the First Burmese War in 1824. In addition to information on military history, succeeding chapters describe Indian swords, helmets, knives, shields, daggers, spears, javelins, blowpipes, sabers, and a host of other weapons, including arms used for athletic and sacrificial purposes. Descriptive notes, grouped according to geographical areas, comment on styles of decoration, manufacturing processes, and ethnological characteristics. A shorter section of the book includes detailed information on Arab and Persian arms (maces, battle axes, matchlock guns, bows and arrows, etc.) and Japanese armor. Students of Far Eastern arms and armor as well as enthusiasts of military history will welcome this comprehensive reference. 350 halftones and line illustrations. 350 halftones and line illustrations.
