The History Of The Imperial Assemblage At Delhi: Held On The 1st January, 1877

J. T. Wheeler’s The History of the Imperial Assemblage at Delhi (1877) chronicles the grand Delhi Durbar of January 1, 1877, celebrating Queen Victoria’s proclamation as Empress of India. It details the event’s ceremonies, political significance, royal proclamations, and the participation of Indian princes. Emphasizing British imperial authority, Wheeler captures the pageantry and symbolism of the occasion. Though written from a colonial perspective, the book remains a valuable historical account of this defining moment in British-Indian relations.
