The two volumes have deep bearing on the life and administrative measures of Maharaja Ranjit Singh who became a mighty ruler of the Punjab at a fairly young age. At first he conquered Lahore and made it the capital and seat of his Government. He diverted his attention towards the cis-Sutlej regions and subjugated some powerful misls of this region. His advance towards Delhi became a problem for Lord Minto who took up this issue seriously by sending Charles Metcalfe to Amritsar who signed the Treaty of Amritsar with the Maharaja in April 1809. Thereafter to Ranjit Singh could conquer Kashmir, Multan, NWFP and other regions to the Himalayas. By this fact, wisdom and statesmanship, the young Maharaja ruled over the Punjab for about four decades and strengthened his position by organizing several departments under his command. All these issues have been taken up in the second volume. These volumes would be useful for teachers, scholars and students of the Punjab History in several academic institutions.
