Historical novel set in India in the 18th century. The Preface begins: "In the following pages I have endeavoured to give a vivid picture ofthe wonderful events of the ten years, which at their commencement sawMadras in the hands of the French--Calcutta at the mercy of the Nabobof Bengal--and English influence apparently at the point of extinctionin India--and which ended in the final triumph of the English, both inBengal and Madras. There were yet great battles to be fought, greatefforts to be made, before the vast Empire of India fell altogetherinto British hands; but these were but the sequel of the events I havedescribed." According to Wikipedia: "George Alfred Henty (8 December 1832 - 16 November 1902), referred to as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, Cambridgeshire, England.
