Erskine in his 'History of India' (Baber and Humayun), London, 1854, vol. i., pp. 542, 543, quotes with approval the statement of Aurangzeb's revenue given in Catrou, p. 264, 4to. edition of 1705; and Edward Thomas in 'The Chronicles of the Pathan Kings of Delhi' (1871), refers to the same passage, reproducing at the same time Mr. Erskine's misprint of Catron for Catrou. In his appendix (p. 443) he gives the figures in a tabulated form, and on pp. 447-450 inserts the French text of Catrou, pp. 264-267. By a supplementary treatise published the same year (1871) under the title 'The Revenue Resources of the Mughal Empire in India,' E. Thomas returns to the subject, and on pp. 44-48 gives the figures once again, with a further passage of the French text on the miscellaneous heads of revenue. Although rejecting Catrou as a worthless witness in himself, Mr. Thomas is, on the whole, inclined to accept Manucci's evidence. In fact, he places much more reliance on his figures than I should be prepared to do myself. - [Previous: 3.7](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.3.7) - [Next: 3.9](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.3.9) - [Up: 3](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.3) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.3.8](https://indike.org/pramana/in.darkages.travel.manucci~en-irvine.3.8) · Pramāṇa
