James Grant Duff was a British soldier, administrator, and writer who served in India during the early 19th century. He had a keen interest in Indian history and wrote extensively about various aspects of Indian society, culture, and politics.

A History of the Mahrattas is a significant work that provides a comprehensive account of the Maratha people, who played a crucial role in shaping the history of India. The book delves into the rise and expansion of the Maratha Empire, their military campaigns, the leadership of prominent Maratha figures, and their interactions with other Indian powers and the British East India Company.

The work is widely regarded as one of the earliest and most authoritative historical accounts of the Marathas and their impact on the Indian subcontinent. Grant Duff's writing is known for being well-researched, and he draws on various primary sources, historical documents, and first-hand accounts to construct a vivid and detailed narrative.
