“At the age of five the child (Bābar) was taken on a visit to Samarqand. . . . The next six years must have been spent in education and well spent, for he had little leisure (later on) to improve himself, and his remarkable attainments in the two languages he wrote imply steady application. Of his early training we hear nothing, but it is reasonable to suppose that an important part of it was due to the women of his family.”³
