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, Khudiram Bose, an 18-year-old, was hanged for throwing a bomb at the carriage of Pringle Kennedy and killing his wife and daughter, Grace Kennedy. Bose and his companion Prafulla Chaki had intended to assassinate Douglas Hollinshead Kingsford, a British magistrate, riding in a similar vehicle.
Pringle Kennedy died on 16 February 1925.[2]
