Excerpt from A History of the Mahrattas, Vol. 1 of 3
In this work, I owe much to Mr. Elphinstone, to whom I am not only indebted for the position that afforded me the opportunities to pursue this study, but also for the encouragement without which I may never have dared to undertake this project. I am also greatly obliged to my esteemed friends, Captain Henry Adams, Revenue Surveyor to the Raja of Satara, and Mr. William Richard Morris, of the Bombay Civil Service, who acted as my first assistant during this endeavor. These gentlemen generously translated numerous documents, including hundreds of deeds and letters, many treaties, and several voluminous histories. For years, after their regular public duties were complete, they devoted their time and effort to assist me in my work.
