Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1865 edition. Excerpt: ... 178 CHAPTER XVI. CONCLUSION. Oudh became a kingdom in 1814. Before that, its sovereigns were styled nawabs. The first king, Ghazee-ood-deen Hyder, reigned from 1814 to 1827, and left in the treasury, at his death, ten millions of pounds sterling. His son, Nussir-ood-deen Hyder, some of whose doings are recorded in the 'Private Life of an Eastern King, 'reigned from 1827 to 1837, and left in the treasury at his death about 700,000/. He had squandered not only the regular annual income of the kingdom on his pleasures and favourites, but also 9,300,000/. of the treasure accumulated by his father--that is, about a million a year in addition to the ordinary annual income. Nussir-ood-deen Hyder was succeeded by his uncle, Mohamed Aly Shah, who reigned from 1837 to 1842, and left behind him in the treasury about 800,000/. His son, Umjid Aly Shah, consort of that queen whose life is illustrated in these pages, reigned from 1842 to 1847, and left behind him in the treasury 1,360,000/. He was succeeded by his son Wajid Aly Shah, now the ex-king of Oudh, who reigned till the annexation of the country to the British dominions in India in 1856. The account given by Elihu Jan, in the foregoing pages, of the palace life of Umjid Aly Shah and Wajid Aly Shah, the two last kings of Oudh, is simple, plain, and unvarnished. In the present chapter I propose to illustrate the same life from other sources, and chiefly from Sir W. Sleeman's 'Journey through the Kingdom of Oudh, ' which was published in London in 1858. Sleeman, having been resident at the court of Lucknow from 1849 to 1856, had of course the best opportunity of becoming acquainted with the state of the palace, and the ordinary life of its principal inmates. But his work was intended to serve a.

This book was released on 2015-07-09 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Private Life of an Eastern King Together With Elihu Jan's Story or the Private Life of an Eastern Queen William Knighton, son of Richard I. Knighton and a member of the same family as his namesake Sir William Knighton, Keeper of the Privy Purse to George IV, was born in Dublin in 1833-4. He was educated at Glasgow and before he was twenty years of age became head master of the Normal School at Colombo. While in Ceylon he became the first Honorary Secretary of the Ceylon Branch of the Royal Asiatic Society, and a partner in a coffee plantation. These activities arc reflected in two books written by him at the time: A History of Ceylon derived from native Chronicles, and Forest Life in Ceylon, 1854, in which lie describes some of his own experiences. From Colombo he went to Calcutta as Professor of History and Logic at the Hindu College. In 1855 The Private Life, of an Eastern King was published, and in 1860 Knighton was appointed by Lord Canning to the Oudh Commission, from which he retired in 1868. The preface of Elihu Jan's Story is dated from the Himalaya Club, Mussooric, June 1864, and Knighton had also contributed 'Village Life in Oudh ' to Fraser's Magazine. In 1883 he married Charlotte, daughter of Sir William Drake, K.C.B., member of the Legislative Council of the Cape of Good Hope, and on March 31, 1900, he died at St. Leonards, aged 66. Literary interests continued to engage much of Knighton's time after his retirement from India. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
