British Newspaper Reports on the Sikhs: The Sikh Empire (7th July, 1799 – 8th March, 1846)

This book is a compilation of over one hundred British newspaper articles regarding the Sikhs spanning over fourty-six years from 1799 until 1846.  In summary, it provides a brilliantly broad view of British interactions and observations of the Punjab and the Sikhs.

It is a treasure trove of information, from the sketches of the Sikhs, descriptions of the local people, overviews of the landscape or the cities through which the observer had travelled, as well as the bias and views of the writer.

History of the Punjab, & the Rise, Progress, & Present Condition of the Sect & Nation of the Sikhs by Henry Thoby Prinsep

The book deals mainly with the political history of the Sikhs from 1742 to 1831.

Henry Thoby Prinsep's (1792 - 1878) work is primarily based on the material collected by Murray. Prinsep has further enriched this information by adding from Captain Wade's (Agent at Ludhiana) report and from some other sources too. 

Captain Murray spent sixteen years (1815 to 1831) among the Sikhs as Assistant Political Agent at Ludhiana, Deputy Superintendant of Sikh and Hill Affairs and later Political Agent at Ambala. During his stay among the Sikhs he collected a large amount of written material and oral information, which remained unpublished for sometime (it is now available in printed form).

Prinsep re-wrote certain sections and added a chapter on Bentinck and Ranjit Singh's meeting from his own observations.
