[...] The work as its title indicates relates tol the promotion of learning and not to the quality of the learning. [...] the original works of guropean and Indiln writers.and translations of 'original works. butthave also utilized many manuscripts and printed texts Arabic Persian and Urdu in the 1-ibr'ary of the Asikic:Society of Bengal as also in the Bohar Collection Of the Calcutta Imperial Library as will beevident from the Biblioeraphy. [...] The sentence in the original Persian is a Hale obscure and I am not quite certain of the meaning but judging from the Newal Kishore text p. i io (describing 'Aldu-d-din's reign) it seems to me that the passage in Briggs is partly a flourish of the General's and partly a mistranslation. [...] His father was named Rajab and was Sipahsalar or Commander-in-chief Ind so held the office of which Abul Fazl gives such a gloing description in the Ain (Jarrett's translation p 37) and his mother Was the daughter of the Rana of Dipalpur in the Punjab and belonged to the Bhatti caste.
