Book Description
Excerpt from The Asiatic Annual Register: Or a View of the History of Hindustan, and of the Politics, Commerce and Literature of Asia, for the Year 1799 TH E nature and plan of the W'ork which we now lay before the Pubprip, have been already nu_ folded and explained in our general Prospectus; and our idea of its utility has been amply justified, not only by the liberal and almost universal pa tronage we have met with, but by the approbation of men whose opinions, as they add authority to truth, so they have given confidence to our hopes, as well as energy to our exertions. It would therefore be superfluous, if not improper, to de tain the reader with any observations on the me rits-of our undertaking, or to solicit attention by a declamatory discourse, on its importance; but it seems necessary to give a sketch of our original plan, and to state the reasons which have induced us to deviate from it, in 'a few particular parts.
