Appendix I. Sources of Sikh History.

v1.c6.s22.1

[The special points in Mr. W. Irvine's sketch of early Sikh history are :—(1) An attempt to get rid of the fable mixed up with the Sikh legends, and to work the residue of fact into some sort of historical order ; (2) to clear the story, as far as possible, from numerous discrepancies and obscurities of place and date ; (3) the introduction of new matter from contemporary Muhammadan sources ; (4) new first-hand evidence for the date of Govind Singh's death ; and lastly (5) the identification of the places referred to in the course of the narrative.]
