118 THE AGRARIAN SYSTEM OF MOSLEM INDIA the rest of the Ain had been definitely closed, because, while the title refers to the twelve provinces constituted in the 24th year, reference is-made in the preface to three others, Berar, Khandesh, and Ahmadnagar, which were later acquisitions, and the first two are described in some detail. The precise date to which the materials relate is thus uncertain, but we can use the account to form a general view of the position in the Empire about the 40th regnal year. It may be added that the Account was clearly edited! by Abul Fazl personally, and that he was working on it as late as the 43rd year. The revenue-systems in force are stated for most of the provinces in precise official terminology; and, where a formal statement is wanting, the actual position can usually be determined from other information contained in the Account. The facts may be summarised as follows. The six older provinces, which formed the heart of the Empire, MULTAN and LAHORE, DELHI and AGRA, AWADH and ALLAHABAD, were mainly, but not entirely, under the Regulation system, which has been described in the last section. The revenue-Demand was regulated by the schedules of cash-rates, to be applied to the area sown in each season; and these schedules, which are set out at length in the Ain, were, as we have seen, applicable to Assignments as well as to the Reserved areas. Certain tracts, however, were administered on different lines. The two largest of these were the mountainous district of Kumatn in Delhi, and a rather vaguely defined region to the South of Allaha- bad, described as the district of Bhathghora; these appear to have been left entirely in the hands of Chiefs, some of whom were practically independent rulers. In the case of a few other subdivisions, there are suggestions in the statistics? that the same position prevailed, but they form in the aggregate only a small proportion of the total area. The provinces lying beyond this nucleus show less aniformityv., and each must be mentioned separately. On 1 The opening paragraphs of the description of Malwa (Ain, i. 455), bear the mark of Abul Fazl’s pen, and include a personal reminiscence of Ujjain in the 43rd year, when the editor visited the city on his wav to the Deccan. ® These suggestions are explained in Appendix G.
