1878.] W. Irvine— The Tang ash Nawahs of Farrukh abaci, 
its rulers from the work of Mufti Wali-ullah and other books, such as the 
Khulasah-i-Bang ash, but more especially from the recollections of an old 
man, Allahdad Khan, son of Mukim Khan chela. Two copies of this 
work were given away, one to Nawab Dilawar Jang, son of Nawab Husain 
’Ali Khan, and the other to Dharm Das, Kayath Kharowah. Neither of 
these copies can be found now, although search has been made. 
Manavvar ’Ali Khan says, that as he had neither practice in the Urdu 
language nor the habit of literary composition, he made his book over to 
Mir Bahadur ’Ali to be put into shape. Bahadur ’Ali returned it corrected 
in 1255 H. (March 1839—March 1810) with additions from his own know¬ 
ledge. To the amended work were given the titles of Anwin-i Khandan- 
i-Bangash or Lauh-i-Tarikh. A poetical tarikh, giving the year 1255 
H., is as follows: 
“ Kya bani hai, miyan, yih khub kitdb .” 
The book is divided into eight parts, besides the introduction. I. Nawab 
Muhammad Khan, Ghazanfar Jang. II. N. Kaim Khan. III. N. Ahmad 
Khan, Ghalib Jang. IV. N. Daler Himmat Khan, Muzaffar Jang. V. N. 
Imdad Husain Khan, Nasir Jang. YI. N. Khadim Husain Klian, Shaukat 
Jang. VII. N. Tajammul Husain Khan, Zafar Jang. VIII. Chap. 1, Bio¬ 
graphy of Manavvar ’Ali Khan; Chap. 2, Biography of Mir Bahadur ’Ali. 
Manavvar ’Ali Khan, born in 1799, was the son of Sarfaraz ’Ali Khan, 
Ustarzai Karlani Pathan. His great-grandfather, Khudadad Khan, had 
married Daulat Khatun, the ninth daughter of Nawab Muhammad Khan, 
Ghazanfar Jang. On his grandmother’s death in 1809, his father gave up 
all her jagirs, but Manavvar ’Ali Khan in 1839 still received 200 rupees a 
year from Sarfaraz Mahal, widow of Nasir Jang, to whom the property had 
been assigned. Manavvar ’Ali Khan died on the 13th Sha’ban 1280, H. 
(21th August, 1863). 
Mir Bahadur ’Ali was a Sayyad of Chibramau, a small town on the 
Grand Trunk Road, about eighteen miles from Farrukhabad. He claims 
to be descended from the eldest son of Zain-ul ’Abidain, who left Madina 
and settled in Turmaz. Some of his descendants were long settled near 
Lahor, but gradually moving eastwards they reached, some five hundred 
years ago, the town of Chibramau, Sirkar Kanauj, Siibah Akbarabad. It 
is said that once seventy to eighty families existed, occupying three muhal- 
las, but for the last two or three hundred years these have disappeared. 
Now-a-days there is only one small muhalla, with five or seven families of 
Sayyads. During the Mughul rule the male members of these families 
sought employment at Delhi as Kazis, Muftis, religious officers, Diwans, 
writers or revenue-collectors. The absence of a genealogical table is apolo¬ 
gized for by Bahadur ’AlHn'his biography. Owing to the unsettled times 
and the occurrence of several Mahratta incursions and village raids (Gan-
