{{italic title}}
The '''''Rulers of India''''' was a biographical book series edited by [[William Wilson Hunter]] and published from the [[Clarendon Press, Oxford]]. Hunter himself contributed the volumes on [[James Andrew Broun-Ramsay, 1st Marquess of Dalhousie|Dalhousie]] (1890)<ref name="H. P.1891" /> and Mayo (1891)<ref name="H. P.1892" /> to the series.

==Background==
William Hunter retired from his long career as a member of the [[Indian Civil Service]] in March 1887 and settled in [[Oxford]], England. On 13 March 1889 [[Philip Lyttelton Gell]], then Secretary to the Delegates of the Clarendon Press, wrote to Hunter about {{quote|a project which has been for some time under the consideration of the Delegates, to publish a series giving the salient features of Indian History in the Biographies of successive Generals and Administrators.<ref name="ChakravortyGupta2004"></ref>}}

Gell arranged the publication of the series by June 1889; with Hunter receiving £75 for each volume, and the author £25. Financial constraints forced the series to end at 28 volumes in spite of Hunter's disappointment about the same.<ref name="ChakravortyGupta2004">{{harv|Chatterjee|2004|p=65–102}}</ref>
