64. A^lil ^!;|y. A History of the Afghans. "This book was 

 procured from, I think, Nizam Ali Khan, the old vizier. It is a worth- 

 less compilation, but founded on Afghan apparently, rather than 

 Indian, sources. He quotes the Tawarikh Jahangyry (p. 134), 

 Tawarikh Nizam (p. 136) ; Majma alansab Hossein, T. Khan Jahany 

 and Sher Shahy (p. 129). The author's name does not appear, and 

 it is not worth knowing."
