Il a été publié à l'origine comme un ensemble de huit volumes entre 1867-1877 à Londres. Le livre a été réimprimé plusieurs fois et est également disponible en ligne. En 1903, Stanley Lane-Poole, a salué les efforts de Elliot et Dowson, en disant : « To realise Medieval India there is no better way than to dive into the eight volumes of the priceless History of India as Told by its Own Historians which Sir H. M. Elliot conceived and began and which Professor Dowson edited and completed with infinite labour and learning. It is a revelation of Indian life as seen through the eyes of the Persian court annalists. It is, however, a mine to be worked, not a consecutive history, and its wide leaps in chronology, its repetitions, recurrences, and omissions, render it no easy guide for general readers ». (fr)

Elliot was keen to contrast what he saw as the justice and efficiency of the British rule compared to cruelty and despotism of Muslim rule. He expressed hope that it "will make our native subjects more sensible of the immense advantages accruing to them under the mildness and equity of our rule." (en)
