∗ "The General (De Boigne) told me that his chief difficulty now was in managing his European officers; in giving them authority enough to be useful, but not enough to be dangerous; in conciliating their attachment while keeping them at a proper distance; in establishing due limits to their intrigues; and in disconcerting without exposing their ambition". 11 Dec. 1794, Thomas Twining, *Travels in India*, p. 283). Faqir Khairuddin alleges a conspiracy by his Major, an Englishman named Hunter or Taylor, to murder De Boigne. (*Ibratnāmah*, iii. 245).
