First published in 1983, this book has been widely acknowledged as a pathbreaking work on the social and economic history of north Indian towns and merchant communities from the decline of Mughal dominion to the consolidation of Britain's empire in India following the 1857 "mutiny." This edition includes a substantial epilogue, not available in earlier printings, which examines the historiography of colonial India over the last ten years.
