Pringle Kennedy

Pringle Kennedy (1855 - 16 February 1925)[1][2] was a British author and barrister. He wrote 2 books (during 1905–1925) for which he is best known:

  • A History of the Great Moghuls (Or A History of the Badshahate of Delhi From 1398 AD To 1739), in 2 volumes, during 1905–1911.[1][3]
  • Arabian Society at the Time of Muhammad, published in 1926 by Thacker, Spink & Co. (Calcutta, India).[4]

Pringle Kennedy has observed (Arabian Society at the Time of Muhammad, pp. 8–10, 18-21): "Muhammad was, to use a striking expression, the man of the hour."[5]

In 1908, the young Bengali revolutionary, Khudi Ram Bose, an 18-year-old, was hanged for throwing a bomb at the carriage of Pringle Kennedy and killing his wife and daughter.

Pringle Kennedy died on 16 February 1925.[2]
