Notes

Originally issued in parts, this copy is without a title-page, in common with others we have traced, but has one of the original printed parts wrappers. The text was provided by the orientalist James Atkinson (1780-1852), who held the post of superintendent of the Government Gazette in Calcutta from 1817 to 1828. The fine plates were engraved after original drawings drawn in India by Charles D'Oyly and George Chinnery, and sent back by them to Landseer in London.
