⁴ This short chapter on the Huzar Daftar is entirely based on Mr. Macleod's account. Sardar Khande Rao Chintaman Mehendale of Poona kindly lent me a copy of a very rare Marathi work published in 1859 and entitled *Iniquities of the Inam Commission in the Presidency of Bombay compiled from the published selections from Govt. Records and other sources exposed for the information of Enamdars, etc.* This work comments adversely on the reliability of the Daftar records, but it should be noted that it was nothing but a party pamphlet and it was its interest to discredit those records.
