Mughal Administration c18.s3.1

c18.s3.1

A valuable source of information on Mughal administration is a curious Persian manuscript, written not later than the early 18th century, which I secured from an old Kayastha family of the Patna district. It is a small book, 148 pages of 11 lines and sometimes 12 or 13 lines each, with the first and sixth leaves and one or two leaves at the end missing. I shall call it the *Manual of Officers' Duties*.
