قصة الكتاب :
The greater the acquaintance with Peter Mundy’s\r\nMS. the greater becomes the sense of its value,\r\nand the present volume is full of interest for\r\nboth the casual reader and the student of\r\nthe history of the English in India.\r\nThe transcript, as in the case of vol. I., has been made from Rawlinson MS. A. 315 in the Bodleian Library and collated with the copy in the British Museum (Harl. MS. 2286). The same methods as regards spelling and punctu¬ation have been adopted as in the former volume. Since the present work deals principally with events in India, the use of a large number of Oriental terms is unavoidable, but I have given these as simply as possible and have omitted all diacritical marks that are not indispensable. For instance, I have made no distinction between the different forms of t, d, s, &c., and have throughout printed both q and k as k. For the same reason I have not marked the kh or the nasalised 11 in such words as Khan.\r\n
