This two-volume facsimile set presents Alexander Hamilton’s scholarly exploration of Hindu chronological systems presented as a series of letters. Hamilton undertakes a detailed examination of ancient Hindu historical records, astronomical calculations, and traditional narratives to establish a coherent chronological framework.
The work is framed within the context of 19th-century missionary efforts in India, with Hamilton explicitly aiming to facilitate Christian progress in Hindostan. His approach combines comparative chronology with religious discourse, reflecting the intellectual interests of his era. The letters format allows for an accessible, progressive development of complex historical and astronomical arguments.
