Fall of the Mughal Empire v2.c27.s29.8

v2.c27.s29.8

Sayyid Nur-ud-din Hasan's Life of Najib-ud-daulah [Br. Mus. MS. 24,410] written about 1773, most probably for Sir Charles W. Malet, is extremely valuable in some parts, but has to be used with caution where he depended on others for information. He was not present in the battle, as being a servant of Imād-ul-mulk he had to remain in hiding at Bharatpur with his master throughout this campaign. But he was the most learned and thoughtful of the Muslim writers on this subject and took care to ascertain the facts from the actors in the affair and to reproduce them faithfully in his book.
