 just impressions of tlie resources of a country, their ramificalions, pres- 

 sure, and availability, than the must laboured verbal details. In 1827- 

 28 1 he assessments in the four coliectorates of Duklian amounted to 

 8j435,214 rupees, 3 qr. 79 reas, being a diminution of 539,399 rupees^ 

 2 qr. 80 reas in the revenue of Fuslee 1231, a. d. 1822, as stated in Mr.

From the preceding table it will be seen that in the several coliecto- 

 rates, although of very disiiroportionate supenicial extent and population 

 in Ahmednuggur, Pooua, an l Khandesh there is a close approximation 

 in the total amount of their revenues, although with some difference in 

 the value of their great branches.
