³ Barbosa left India in A.D. 1516. or 1517 Dames, I, p. 223, n. (1) op. cit. Stanley says that Barbosa was an eye-witness: "Though Suttee has been so often described, the account of it in these possess much interest and novelty, probably from having been written by an eye-witness, before that institution was disturbed by European influence".
