Excerpt from The Asiatic Annual Register, or a View of the History of Hindustan, and of the Politics, Commerce, and Literature of Asia
State Papers. To assist the reader further, in the com prehension of certain circumstances, not adequately described or treated in the Indian accounts, some chapters are prefixed to the Chronicle, partaking of the character of an historical, or more methodized narra tive, and indulging, perhaps, more than is strictly allow able in such a province, in animadversions on the trans actions in detail. This latter is the only new feature in the present volume, as premised, and, indeed, promised, in the prefatory observations to the last.
