Excerpt from India Through the Ages: A Popular and Picturesque History of Hindustan A history, above all one which only claims to be a compilation from published works, needs no introduction save the compiler's thanks to many authors whose books have been consulted. One word, however, may be said regarding the only accent used - the circumflex. This is put always on the tone of stress; that is to say, on the syllable to be accented. Thus Malwa, Amber, Jeysulmer, Himalya, Vizigapatam. Where no accent appears the syllables are of equal value.
