A History of British India: From the Earliest English Intercourse to the Present Time chronicles the gradual expansion of British influence in India, starting with early trade relations in the 17th century through the East India Company. It explores key events like the Battle of Plassey, the consolidation of British power, administrative reforms, and socio-economic impacts on Indian society. The book also covers significant uprisings such as the 1857 Revolt, leading to the transition from Company rule to direct British Crown control. It highlights the complexities of colonial governance and the growing Indian response, setting the stage for future independence movements.

Charles Macfarlane (1799–1858) was a Scottish writer known for his historical, biographical, and travel works, as well as novels.

Notable works include A History of British India, The Lives and Exploits of Banditti, and Turkey and its Destiny. He also authored historical novels and travelogues.
