Note 21 — Introductory Life of Akbar.
M. M. translation
“Memoirs of Jehanghir,” written by himself, and translated by Major David Price for the Oriental Translation Fund, 1829. When I was at Madrid Don Pascual de Gayangos gave me a copy of a very interesting Spanish manuscript by an anonymous missionary (probably Aquaviva) who describes the personal appearance and habits of Akbar. It was left at the Asiatic Society, before Mr. Vaux’s time, and was mislaid. Don Pascual has also mislaid the original, so that the loss is irremediable.
