PREFACE (2) The precise transliteration of the words so given in the text will be found in the glossary (Appendix H), following the simplified form. (3) In the Appendices, the precise transliteration is used in cases where the terms or phrases under discussion seem to require it. (4) Proper names are given only in simplified form. Linguistic scholars do not need to be reminded that the % in Muhammad, for instance, is different from the 4% in Humayiin, while ordinary readers are not interested in the difference. (5) I have retained the ordinary spelling of words such as Moslem or Mogul, and of names such as Calcutta or Lahore, which have become incorporated in the English language. [t will be noticed that my simplified transliteration is very nearly that which is used in Volume III of the Cam- bridge History of India; and the resemblance is not confined to transliteration, for the views taken of the principal characters, and the main authorities, of the period in the two books are substantially identical. It may be well therefore to explain that my chapters dealing with this period were ready for the printer before Sir Wolseley Haig’s exhaustive volume was published; the similarity of stand- point, and even the occasional verbal coincidences, are not due to imitation or consultation, but are the result of independent study of the same authorities. In a few cases where Sir Wolseley Haig’s interpretation of passages bearing on agrarian matters differs from mine, I have re-examined the evidence, but I have not found occasion to modify the views which I had previously formed. The method of citing authorities is conditioned by the facts that the titles are commonly long, and frequently similar. In order to reduce the footnotes to reasonable bulk, I have selected arbitrary key-words to denote the principal authorities, the full titles being set out under these key-words in Appendix I. In bringing together information drawn from so many heterogeneous sources, I have necessarily been dependent on the assistance of scholars working in many different fields.
