follow, to feed upon them; and they render residence and industry unsafe.
Malaria follows, and destroys what persons the tigers leave.

I have seen extensive tracts of the richest soil and most picturesque scenery, along the banks of the Nerbudda, which had been rendered desolate for ages by the misrule of only a few years.

It is the same in the Tarae forest, which separates Oude from Nepaul.

But in the rest of Oude, from the Ganges to this belt of forest, no such effects follow misrule, however great and prolonged.

Here no grass grows too rankly, few deer fill it, few tigers, leopards, wolves, or wild dogs come in pursuit of them, and no malaria is feared.
