Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Selections From the Letters, Despatches, and Other State Papers Preserved in the Bombay Secretariat, Vol. 1: Home Series
In order to make the Selections more intelligible to the general reader I have thought it advisable to prefix to them a short historical introduction. In the introduction I have supplied gaps in the Records by information derived from old books of travels from which the most accurate and complete picture of manners and the state of society can be drawn.
