c5.s4.6
As an experienced Anglo-Indian administrator remarks in criticising the system described in the *Ain-i-Akbari*,—"Akbar was a master of detail: but here [in the *Ain*] detail is pushed to the extreme... It is everywhere assumed that the control of business depends on the compilation of appropriate registers, which is one of the besetting delusions of the native official of our days." (W. Crooke's *N. W. Provinces*, p. 101.)
