This chapter presents information on eastern India under the Nawabs 1740-65, and eastern India under the British 1765-1828. Some of the major contemporary histories and chronicles have been translated from Persian into English. The most famous is a translation of the Seir Mutaqherin of Ghulam Husain Khan, which first appeared in Calcutta in three volumes in 1789 and has been much reprinted. Other translations are: Riyaz us Salati, Tarikh-i-Bangala-i-Mahabatjangi, and the selection in Bengal Nawabs. The major collections of eastern India under the British, ordered to be printed before 1801 are reproduced in Reports from Committees of the House of Commons, papers relating to India were extensively printed in virtually every year's Parliamentary Papers. Biographies of the famous Governors, Clive and Warren Hastings, appear regularly. The East India Company's early revenue experiments, the enacting of the Permanent Settlement and assessments of its consequences have provoked a huge literature.
