HISTORIC LANDMARKS
OF THE
DECCAN
BY

Of His Majesty's Indian Army; a Political Agent under the Foreign Department of the Government of India.

1907
PREFACE.
The chapters of this book are chiefly historical and descriptive accounts of places famous in the history of the Deccan. The list of places so described is by no means exhaustive, for I have not attempted to describe any locality which I have not visited. This limitation must be accepted as my excuse for not having devoted chapters to such places as Bijapur and Ahmadnagar.
It is unfortunate that no good history of the Deccan under its Muhammadan rulers exists in the English language. That history is not, as one writer* remarks, "useless and inexpressibly tedious," but is full of interest, romance, and practical utility to the student of Indian history. From its romantic side it has been treated, merely as romance by the most widely-read of Anglo-Indian novelists. Briggs and others have attempted to treat it more seriously, but their writings are chiefly uncritical translations of a single author whose work contains many inaccuracies and unexplained discrepancies. The latest rechauffe† of these translations is even more misleading than the work upon which it is based. Great advances have now been made in epigraphy and numismatics and various manuscript histories of the dynasties of the Deccan are accessible to the student, and these furnish ample materials for a detailed and critical history of the Deccan.
One of the most repellent features of works on oriental history consists in the confusing and apparently uncouth names and titles of historical personages. To remove confusion I have added as an appendix to this book a table containing lists of the dynasties in any way connected with the Deccan. For the dynastic lists of Vijayanagar I am indebted to Mr. Sewell's most valuable work "A Forgotten Empire" and for one or two other lists to "The Chronology of India" by C. Mabel Duff, but most of the lists are from original sources. ​ Most of the chapters of this book have appeared from time to time in the Pioneer, to the proprietors of which journal my best thanks are due for their courteous permission to republish them The chapters on Daulatabad and the siege of Golconda appeared in East and West, and I am indebted to the courtesy of Mr. B. M. Malabari for permission to republish these.

# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Fire Department

Fire Department.
The fire department at the present time, consists of two organized companies of engine men formed in 1852. One is located in the south village, and is called the Cataract, No. 1; Samuel Bent, Foreman. The other, is in the west village, and is called the Torrent, No. 2; Hiram Wood, Foreman. Both companies have powerful engines which were purchased by the town at an expense of nearly three thousand dollars, including hose.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Hail Storm

​Hail Storm. A sudden storm of hail came over the north part of Gardner, June 20, 1850, breaking the glass on the west, and north-west side of the buildings where it went. The hail came with such force that it broke down the growing vegetables in its course.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Libraries

Libraries.
There are four circulating libraries in town; one in the south village, and three in the center of the town,—one of which is an Agricultural Library: there is also one in each school district.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Medical Practitioners

Medical Practitioners.
Joseph Boyden was probably the first physician in Gardner. Soon after he came into town, ​Rev. J. Osgood united the medical to his clerical office; there not being practice enough for both, Dr. Boyden left the place. Mr. Osgood was the only physician in town for nearly thirty years.
Dr. Howard practiced medicine here a few years. In 1822, Horace Parker, from Westford, came to Gardner; after practicing medicine about seven years, his health failed and he returned to Westford, where he died soon after.
In 1823, David Parker came into town; after studying awhile with his brother Horace, he commenced the practice of medicine with him, which he has continued to the present time. After the death of his brother, he was for many years the only physician in town.
Occasionally a physician would locate here until a better opening might be found. Dr. Sanborn practiced in the south village a short time. Dr. Carpenter, Dr. Harriman, Dr. Warner, and Dr. Jewett, have also been located as physicians here. Dr. Sawyer and Dr. Macomber are now practising physicians in the place; the one last mentioned is of the homœopathic order.
W. H. H. Hinds, dentist, resided in town seven or eight years, when he sold out in 1859 to Dr. E. D. Gaylord.
​Nathan S. Lincoln, son of Rev. Sumner Lincoln, fitted for college at Springfield, Mass., and graduated at Dartmouth College in 1850. Studied medicine in Baltimore, Md.; commenced the practice of medicine in the city of Washington in 1853, where he still resides.
Albert Kendall, son of Hubbard Kendall, studied with Dr. Harriman, of Gardner, and attended the Medical College at New York, where he received his diploma for a physician, in which practice he is now engaged at Newton Lower Falls.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Fires and Injuries by Lightning

Fires,
and injuries by lightning.
1798, August 10. A barn belonging to Seth Heywood was set on fire by lightning and consumed, with the crops of hay and grain.
1798, August 24. A barn belonging to Samuel Stone was struck by lightning and burnt; it was well filled with hay and grain.
1808. In May, a dwelling-house of Joseph Wright, with all the furniture, was consumed. The fire was occasioned by a defect in the oven.
1809. In November, a house belonging to Allen Perley was burned, with the furniture; he was having it repaired at the time; the workmen ​had left shavings so near the fire-place, that on going out, the wind took them to the fire, thus communicating the flames to the building with such rapidity that there was no chance to save it.
1810. In the spring of the year, a house belonging to Capt. Ezekiel Howe was struck by lightning: there had been quite a shower of rain a little while before; Mr. Howe was coming towards the house when it was struck, and remarked "that the electricity had the appearance of live coals thrown from the roof." The house was not burned, but so shattered, that he built a new one; the furniture was upset, and the crockery thrown from the shelves and broken. A loaded gun standing in the house was discharged by the electricity.
1813. The card shop of Josiah Wilder, Jr. was destroyed by fire. Also, a dwelling-house belonging to Aaron Pratt.
1827. In February, a chair shop of James M. Comee was burned.
1829. A grist mill belonging to Capt. William Bickford, (where C. J. and O. A. Travers' chair shop now stands,) was burned.
1834. In June, the dwelling-house of Seth Whitney took fire upon the roof, and was destroyed. In October, a chair shop belonging to ​Walter Heywood was burned on the site where Asher Shattuck's house now stands.
Capt. Henry Whitney had a mill burned, and built another on the same site, which he sold to Daniel J. Goodspeed, which was afterwards burnt.
Martin Dunster had a chair shop destroyed by fire, on the site where Nichols & Baker's grist mill now stands.
1839. In March, a chair shop of Elijah Putnam was burned, on the site now occupied by L. H. Sawin.

1852. In November, the same individual had a shop burned on the site now occupied by B. F. Kendall.
1855. In March, the house that had been occupied by Miss Kneeland and Mrs. Phinney, was burned.
​1857. In September, a large paint shop belonging to the South Gardner Chair Manufacturing Company, near the depot, was burned. Loss, $10,000; insured for $5,500.
Other inconsiderable fires may have occurred.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Incorporation of the Town

Incorporation of the Town.
In the month of May, 1785, Mr. John Glazier, of Westminster, drew a petition to which he obtained about thirty signatures, and presented it to the Massachusetts Legislature, praying that honorable body to set off from the northwesterly part of Westminster, the west part of Ashburnham, the south portion of Winchendon, and the east part of Templeton, all in the County of Worcester, land enough for a Town. And in duty bound will your petitioners ever pray. Accordingly the Legislature granted their request and incorporated a Town by the name of Gardner, in honor of Col. Thomas Gardner, a noble patriot, who fell in battle fighting for the liberty of his country.
Gardner was incorporated June 15th, 1785. The number of inhabitants then in town were about three hundred and seventy-five, and sixty ​families; they were poor (with few exceptions) and lived in small ordinary houses; like new settlers hr other places, they were obliged to labor hard to subdue the land and bring it into a state of cultivation. There were but few mechanics in town at this time;—three blacksmiths, four carpenters, and three shoe-makers.
# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Justices of the Peace

# History of Gardner, Massachusetts/Introduction

Introduction.
I am aware that it would seem to be the very height of presumption for a man at the age of eighty-six, to attempt to write a hook. My object in the first place was merely to note down some facts with regard to the early history of Gardner, recorded only in the memory of a few of the oldest inhabitants of the Town. The pleasure experienced in this employment was such as to lead me to extend it to the present time.
Some may object to the minuteness of detail, and familiarity of scene indulged by the author. Every writer has his own way of stating things; his peculiar mode of address; his individual style of writing. Then too, the tastes of readers differ widely; what is dull to one may be interesting to another; facts may be recorded that will afford interest in reading to those who may recollect the circumstances in connection, that would appear dry or insipid to one of the present generation. I am aware that it will be remarked, (and with truth too,) that "I could have written a better history myself, or at least a more interesting one." We do not make special claims ​to erudition, or a style of writing which shall attract for its novelty. I doubt not your friend could have done better in the meridian of life.
I would cherish the hope therefore, that this little volume may find readers whose charity will induce them to deal gently with the infirmities of age. In writing this history we shall endeavor to avoid all prejudice or partiality, and hope it may meet with a kind reception from an indulgent public.
Gardner, Sept., 1857.
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of real Friendship

TALE XLIX.
OF REAL FRIENDSHIP.
A certain king had an only son, whom he much loved. The young man was desirous of travelling, and obtained his father's permission to this end. After an absence of seven years, he returned, and his father, overjoyed at his arrival, asked what friends he had acquired. "Three," said the son; "the first of whom I love more than myself; the second, equally with myself; and the third, little or nothing." "You say well," returned the father; "but it is a good thing to prove them before you stand in need of their assistance. Therefore kill a pig, put it into a sack, ​and go at night to the house of him whom you love best, and say that you have accidentally killed a man, and if the body should be found I shall condemn you to an ignominious death. Intreat him if he ever loved you, to give his assistance in this extremity." The son did so; and the friend answered, "Since you have rashly destroyed a man, you must needs be crucified. Now because you were my friend, I will bestow upon you three or four ells of cloth to wrap your body in." The youth hearing this, went in much indignation to the second of his friends, and related the same story. He received him like the first, and said, "Do you believe me mad, that I should expose myself to such peril? But since I have called you my friend, I will accompany you to the cross, and console you as much as possible upon the way." This liberal proposal not meeting the prince's approbation, he went to the third, and said, "I am ashamed to speak what I have done: but, alas! I have accidentally slain a man." "My friend," answered the other, "I will readily lay down my life in your defence; and ​should you be condemned to expiate your misfortune on the cross, I will be crucified either for you or with you." This man, therefore, proved that he was his friend (33) .
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the king is God; the only son is any Christian. The first friend is the world; and if it gives, in your necessity, two or three ells of cloth, it is much indeed. The second friend is your wife, and sons, and daughters; they will bewail you to your sepulchre, but soon forget you after you are laid there; the third friend is Christ, who loves us even upon ​the Cross, and joyfully gave away his life for our preservation.
* ↑ The moral says twelve; meaning, however, the term of human life.
* ↑ Massinger has a sentiment so similar, that if the experience of all ages were not alike, one might fancy that the Poet had borrowed from the Monk. ————"When dead, we are With solemn pomp brought hither, and our heirs Masking their joy in false dissembled tears, Weep o'er the hearse: but earth no sooner covers The earth brought hither, but they turn away With inward smiles—the dead no more remembered." The Maid of Honour, Act II. Sc. 3.
Note 33.Page 183.
This story is in Alphonsus. "It is remarkable ​that Le Grand, as well as Barbazan, seems to have known nothing about Petrus Alphonsus, whom he classes under his Frenchified name of Pierre Anfors, amongst the Norman fableours." Douce.
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of spiritual Friendship.

TALE LIII.
OF SPIRITUAL FRIENDSHIP.
A king had two grey-hounds, whom he kept alternately chained up. As long as they were ​thus fastened they mutually loved and fawned upon each other, but no sooner were they unloosed than they exhibited the most deadly signs of mutual hostility. The king was much concerned at this; because when he would have coursed with them, and for that purpose set them at liberty, they fought so fiercely that he was unable to follow his sport. This led him to consult some learned man, who recommended that the first of the dogs should be encountered by a strong and savage wolf; and then the second should be encouraged to the attack when his aid was most needed, and his companion in danger of being devoured. This was accordingly done; and as the strength of the first dog failed, the second was let loose, who, after a severe struggle, killed the wolf. From this time, bound or unbound, they live together in the most perfect friendship.
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the king is Christ; the two dogs are the soul and body. If loosed by ​mortal sin, they are at war. The wolf, is the devil, which being overcome, they live together in peace.
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of free Will

TALE X.
OF FREE WILL.
There was formerly a king, in whose reign a law was enacted, that the elder brother should divide the inheritance; and then, that the younger should have the choice. The reason of which was, that they considered it a greater proof of discretion, to apportion than to select; and the elder ought to be the wiser. There was also another law, which permitted the son of a slave to receive an estate, as well as the son of a freeman. Now there were two brothers, the one born of a handmaid, and the other of a free-woman, between whom an estate was to be divided. The elder, therefore, divided it in this manner. On one side he placed the whole inheritance, and on the other, his brother's mother. The latter reflected ​that he ought to love his parent beyond all else; and consequently chose her, trusting to the kindness and liberality of his brother. But here he was deceived; for he would supply him with nothing. Upon which he hastened to the judge, and complained that his brother had excluded him from his inheritance. The brother made answer, that the matter rested not with him; since he who chose, not he who divides, is secure of his portion.
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the two sons are Christ and man; the elder, that is Christ, divided the inheritance; the mother is the earth, which the younger chose, and thereby lost heaven.
# Gesta Romanorum Vol. II (1871)/Of manner of Life

TALE LXXXIX.
OF MANNER OF LIFE.
Trogus Pompeius (98) relates of Ligurius, a noble knight, that he induced the inhabitants of the state to make oath, that they would faithfully preserve certain just and wholesome, ​though rather severe laws, until he returned with an answer from the oracle of Apollo, whom he feigned to have made them. He then went to Crete, and there abode in voluntary exile. But when he was dead the citizens brought back his bones, imagining that they were then freed from the obligation of their oath. These laws were twelve in number. The first, insisted on obedience to their princes; and enjoined princes to watch over the well-being of their subjects, and to repress injustice. The second law commanded economy; and considered war better provided for by sobriety than drunkenness. The third law, ordained rewards to be proportioned to merit. The fourth, divided the administration of government; empowering kings to make war, magistrates to give judgment, and the senate to try offenders. It also conferred upon the people permission to elect their rulers. The sixth law, apportioned lands, and settled disputed claims respecting patrimony, so that no one could become more powerful than another. The seventh, enjoined all feasts to be held in public, lest one person should be ​the cause of luxury to another. The eighth, that young men should have but one habit during the year; the ninth, that poor lads should be employed in the fields, and not in the forum, by which their first years should be spent in hard labour, not in idleness. The tenth law exacted that virgins be married without dowry; the eleventh that wives be not elected for money; and the twelfth, that the greatest honour should not be assigned to the greatest wealth, but to priority in years. And whatever law Ligurius established, he was himself the first to observe beyond all others.
APPLICATION.
My beloved, the knight is Christ; and the laws, those moral ordinances which he established.
