THIS work is of much the same historic character as the last. It is in a more abridged form, but is devoted to the eulogies of a patron, and their publication appears to have been one of the chief objects contemplated in the undertaking.

The author, Muhammad Amín, son of Daulat Muhammad-al Husainí-al Balikí, was in the service of Nawáb Sipahdár Khán, who receives an enlarged and laudatory notice at the close of the work. He concluded it in A.H. 1036, and styled it Anfa'u-l Akhbár, “The most useful chronicle,” because the year is repre­sented by the letters composing those words. He resided chiefly at Ahmadnagar, on which account he often notices this city; and its buildings, gardens, and history, receive a large share of notice.

This history is divided into a Preface, ten Books, and a Conclusion.
