Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Land Tax of India, According to the Moohummudan Law: Translated From the Futawa Alumgeeree, With Explanatory Notes
An Appendix is added, containing some documents which are referred to in the Introductory Essay. One of these is worthy of more particular notice. It is a copy of the trans lation of a Firman, addressed by the Emperor Aurungzebe, apparently by way of circular, to the Dewans of his different provinces and is of value, not only as showing the state of the Khiraj, at a time when the Mohammedan power was in its strength, but also as demonstrating that the Digest of the Law, which was prepared by this Emperor's command, was practically carried into effect, in one important department, by his own express authority. This document is considered to be of so much importance in the last point of view, that notes have been added to it, referring to the corresponding parts in the text.
