[THE author of this little work was Manú Lál or Múná Lál, son of Bahádur Singh Munshí. Sir H. M. Elliot's MS. extends to the twenty-fourth year of the reign, and at the end Sir Henry has written, “Imperfect as usual.” It is the most common life of this Emperor, and was used by Colonel Francklin for his Life of Sháh 'Álam.]
