From the Earliest Times to the Abolition of the Honourable East India Company in 1858

Robert Sewell’s compact analytical history of India, extending from antiquity to the abolition of the East India Company in 1858.

The Analytical History of India: From the Earliest Times to the Abolition of the Honourable East India Company in 1858 is a foundational historical text written by Robert Sewell and published in 1870 by W.H. Allen & Company. The book provides a structured chronological overview of the Indian subcontinent's political, administrative, and military evolution from antiquity up to the formal establishment of the British Raj. Sewell, who later became famous for his pioneering archaeological and historical scholarship on southern India (most notably his 1900 book A Forgotten Empire: Vijayanagar), wrote this early work to provide an accessible yet deeply structured text for students, researchers, and general readers.
