Professor Richard's work is based on part of a manuscript in the
British Library concerned with the revenues and administration of
the later Mughal Empire, and datable to the reign of the Emperor
Bahadur Shah I (AD 1708-1712). The section covered consists of 65
specimen forms for types of documents, the majority orders of
appointment, the remainder concerned with a variety of financial
and other transactions. The appointments envisaged range from that
of Subadar, or Governor of a major province, to those of minor
officials of ports, mints and sub-districts. The work belongs in
the tradition of administrative manuals that may be traced back to
the reign of Akbar and earlier. The specimen documents, originally
intended to guide the aspiring Mughal scribe in his work, contain a
mass of detail of interest to the modern student of the history of
the Mughal India, and that of the eventual heir to the Mughal
tradition, the British Raj. This is the first work of its type to
appear in English translation. An introduction sets the work in
context and the original text is given in facsimile. John F.
Richards is Professor of History at Duke University
