India Tracts By Mr. Holwell And Friends

This collection of essays and letters offers a fascinating glimpse into life in colonial India during the 18th century. John Zephaniah Holwell, along with several other British expatriates, wrote extensively on topics such as Indian culture, history and language, as well as the impact of British colonial rule on the subcontinent. Holwell's work in particular sheds light on the atrocities committed during the Black Hole of Calcutta, making this a valuable resource for historians and anyone interested in the complex history of India.
