Notes on Sirttjuddaulah and the town of Murslviddb&d, taken from 



a Persian Manuscript of the Tdrikh i Manguri. — By H. Blochmann, 



Esq., M. A. 



[Received 21sfc December, 1866.] 



About two months ago, a copy of the above work was forwarded to 

 me for examination by the Philological Committee of our Society. 

 The book had only lately been handed over to the Rev. James Long 

 by the Nawab Nazir Sayyidi Darab 'All Khan Bahadur of Murshidabad, 

 for transmission to the Asiatic Society in London. The author is 

 a Shi'ah of the name of Sayyid 'Ali, a friend of the Nawab Nazir, and 

 evidently a man of erudition. He seems also to have received some 

 support and encouragement from Major Gr. Hall Macgrigor, C. B., 

 political agent at Murshidabad in 1842. 



The book is dedicated to the Nawab Sayyid Mancur 'All Khan 

 Bahadur Nucrat Jang with the following remark :
