Description

Excerpt from The Thugs or Phansigars of India: Comprising a History of the Rise and Progress of That Extraordinary Fraternity of Assassins

From this repository of undigested materials, the compiler of the volume now offered to the public, has endeavoured to form a clear and suc cinct account of the Thugs, their peculiar super stitions, their methods of proceeding in robbing and murdering travellers, and the operations of the British government in India for the extirpation of this singular and unparalled system of assassination and plunder. To this he has added an Appendix, containing the vocabulary of their language, the disclosures made to Captain Sleeman by Thug informers, and a specimen of the trials of some of the criminals; which serves to exhibit the careful and impartial system pursued by the British autho tities in bringing these atrocious criminals to justice.
