THE REIGN OF AKBAR (1556-1605) 97 struck of the Demand for ten years, the period during which the qaniingo-rates had been in force, and the figures were ‘hen raised to take account of improvements in cropping which had been established during the period; but, what- ever the detailed procedure may have been, the fact that a new Valuation was prepared suggests strongly that by this ‘ime it had been decided to revert to the practice of Assign- ment, and this suggestion seems to me to be established definitely by the references to Assignments in these pro- vinces during the next decade. This evidence may be sum- marised as follows, the references given being to the third volume of the text of the Akbarnima. At the end of the twenty-fourth year, orders were issued (287) to cerain named persons, and the other assignees, of the provinces of Allahabad and Awadh. In the twenty-fifth year, orders were issued to the assignees of Malwa (314), and Ajmer (318); while there is a reference 345) to the other assignees in Lahore. In the twenty-sixth year we read (348, 350) of two assignments in Lahore, of various assignees (370) at Bahraich, in Awadh, and (372) of some other assignees in Lahore. In the twenty-seventh year we hear (397) of an assignment m Delhi; and in the twenty-eighth, of orders (398) to various assignees in Awadh and Allahabad; of the assignee (415) of Kalpi, in Agra; and (422) the assignee of Raisin, in Malwa. In the thirtieth year, general orders issued (464-5) that all assignees in the North should prepare for the expedition to the Deccan. In the thirty-first year, we read (489) of an assignment in Malwa, and (512) of one in Ajmer. In the thirty-second year, we read (525) of assignments in Lahore, and in the thirty-fourth year (536) of Multan—apparently the whole province—being given in assignment. Further, in the records of remissions of revenue, which have already been discussed, the sums remitted in the Reserved areas of Allahabad, Awadh, Agra, Delhi and Lahore are set out, with the observation (533) that those made by the assignees can be estimated from these data. While then there is no formal record of a change of policy, the evidence shows definitely that after the 24th year Assignments again became common in all the provinces where the system had been abandoned; and it may be added that the orders issued by Jahangir on his accession (Tfzuk, 4) leave no room for doubt that by that time much of the
