His countenance is just what his character would lead one to expect; strongly marked and expressing, in legible characters, cunning, cruelty and daring ferocity; yet there is a certain quickness in his address and manner of speaking that indicates talents and genius. His complexion is fair, and what little hair he has is quite grey.’ (Letters from a Mahratta Camp, Constable, 1892, p. 50.)\] - [Previous: v2.c46.30](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c46.30) - [Next: v2.c46.32](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c46.32) - [Up: v2.c46](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c46) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c46.31](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.general.grantduff-1826.v2.c46.31) · Pramāṇa
