4. *Aml-i-Salih* by Muhammad Salih Kambu, gives the history of the 31st year of Shah Jahan's reign and of the War of Succession. (Elliot, vii. 123.) The author was an adherent of Shah Jahan. He uses the State papers and writes in the exact style and method of the Court annalists in continuation of Waris's history. But with the illness of Shah Jahan he evidently lost access to the State papers and his narrative from this point onwards lacks fulness and accuracy, and is either meagre of detail or padded out with rhetorical commonplaces and moral reflections. In a disjointed manner it continues the narrative to the death of Shah Jahan. The same volume as No. 3 above.
