Rambles and Recollections of an Indian Official

CHAPTER 65
7/55

Such alterations are most considerable in the annotations dealing with the buildings at Agra, Sikandara, Fathpur-Sikri, and Delhi, and the connected political history, concerning which much new information is now available.

Certain small misstatements of fact in my old notes have been put right.

Some of those errors which escaped the notice of critics have been detected by me, and some have been rectified by the aid of criticisms received from Sir George Grierson, C.I.E., Mr.
William Crooke, sometime President of the Folklore Society, and other kind correspondents, to all of whom I am grateful.

Naturally, the opportunity has been taken to revise the wording throughout and to eliminate misprints and typographical defects.

The Index has been recast so as to suit the changed paging and to include the new matter.
Captain James Lewis Sleeman of the Royal Sussex Regiment has been good enough to permit the reproduction of his grandfather's portrait, and has communicated papers which have enabled me to make corrections in and additions to the Memoir, largely enhancing the interest and value of that section of the book.
Notes: 1.
