Akbar the Great (1542 1605) is often regarded as the Mughal
Empire's most accomplished ruler. This document on the workings of
his empire was produced by Akbar's vizier, Abu'l-Fazl ibn Mubarak
(1551 1602). Between 1783 and 1786, the scholar Francis Gladwin
(1744/5 1812) produced an English translation from the original
Persian. Reissued here is the two-volume edition that appeared in
1800. As the work's dedicatee and Governor-General of Bengal,
Warren Hastings had seen the translation as illuminating the Mughal
Empire's 'original constitution' and believed it would educate and
inform Britain's colonial administrators. Gladwin's text would not
be superseded for many decades, and it testifies to the quality of
his scholarship and the contemporary concerns of the East India
Company. Volume 1 explains the workings of the royal household and
military offices, including details of the mint, treasury and
harem, as well as building regulations."

This materia medica - a book of collected knowledge about medicines
and their properties - was originally written in Persian by
Noureddeen Mohammed Abdullah al-Shirazi (fl.1625-40), physician to
the Mughal emperor Shah Jahan, to whom it was dedicated. This 1793
publication contains entries in Persian, Arabic and Hindi, with
English translations by Francis Gladwin (1744-1812), an employee of
the East India Company and professor of Persian at Fort William
College. The work begins by giving traditional Arabic evaluations
of each type of medicine in terms of its power on a scale of 1 to
4, before presenting the dictionary of over 1,400 medicines, some
with notes on their properties and usage. Providing an insight into
healing practices in India in the seventeenth and eighteenth
centuries, this work remains of interest to scholars in the history
of medicine.
