APPENDIX TO THE HISTORY OF THE KINGS OF GOLCONDA.
PREFATORY NOTICE.

THE Translator, desirous of filling up the chasm alluded to by Ferishta, was enabled some years ago to procure a work, entitled “The History of “Mahomed Koolly Kootb Shah,” written about the time Ferishta lived; and although the Author has not mentioned his name, it seems probable that it may be the identical work adverted to. At all events, having been translated, it is now included, in order to complete that portion of the history of the Deccan. — All endeavours to obtain some detailed accounts of the Kings of Bidur and Elichpoor have failed, although the Translator visited those capitals more than once for the express purpose of making search for them.
