1903

G. Keene's Sketch of the IIistory of Hindustan ' and his other volumes the most suggestive ; Thomas's Chronicles of the Pathan Kings ' the Memoirs of the Archaeological Survey of India ' Professor Blochmann andColonel H. S. Jarrett's notes to their translation of the Ain-i-Akbari ' of Abu-l-Fazl Mr. [...] For the chapters on the emperors Babar and Aurangzib 1 have naturally drawn largely from my own two volumes in the Rulers of India' series with the permission of the Delegates of the Oxford University Press ; and I have also been allowed to reprint from the Quarterly Review' some pages on mediaeval travellers at the court of the Great Moghul.
