∗ Madec writes in his Mémoire: "The third day [17th Nov. 1772] I went to the Emperor's audience...in the same order in which I had made my entry into the city,---(described before as, "I can say without ostentation that my entry into Delhi had the air of a triumph and that I entered there more like a monarch than a private person.")...The Emperor invested me with a robe of very rich cloth of gold with all the ornaments, namely a girdle, a turban and an aigrette set with precious stones...In cosidering the state of grandeur in which I found myself...I could hardly believe that it was not a dream."
