Note 23 — Introductory Life of Akbar.

In Volumes V. and VI. of the great work edited by Professor Dowson,23 the history of Akbar’s reign is very fully supplied by extracts from the “Tabakat-i Akbari,” the “Akbar-namah,” the “Tarikh-i Badauni,” the “Tarikh-i Alfi,” the work of Shaikh Nurul Hakk, and that of Asad Beg. Mr. Edward Thomas, F.R.S., has published a most valuable little book on the revenue system of Akbar and his three immediate successors.24
