ORIGIN OF THE SIKH POWER IN THE PUNJAB AND POIJTICAL LIFE OF MAHARAJA RANJIT SINGH, with an Account of the Religion, Laws and Customs of the Sikhs, was compiled by Henry Thoby Prinsep (1793-1878), a civil servant of the British East India Company, who later rose to be a member of the Legislative Council of India (1858-74). The book was published at Calcutta in 1834. A reprint was issued by the Languages Department, Punjab, in 1970. Prinsep commences his account with Yahiya Khan`s vice royalty of Lahore (1745-48) and carries his account down to the Ropar meeting between Maharaja Ranjit Singh and the British Governor General, Lord William Bentinck, in October 1831, and the British treaties with the Amirs of Sindh in April 1832.
