This book contains narratives of seven Englishmen who traveled in Northern and Western India during the reigns of the Emperors Akbar and Jahangir. Though these do not by any means exhaust the list of English visitors of that period, who have left us record of their experience, they include practically all these of real importance, with the exception of Sir Thomas Roe. The travelers included are Ralph Fitch 1583-91; John Mildenhall 1599-1606; William Hawkins 1608-13; William Finch 1608-11; Nicholas Withington 1612-16; Thomas Coriyat 1612-17 and Edward Terry 1616-19.
