[THIS is another history of Bahádur Sháh, but it reaches only to the month of Rajab, in the second year of his reign. It is the work of Dánishmand Khán, already noticed in No. LXXVI. (suprà, p. 200). The author is best known by his title Ni'amat Khán, but in the present volume he calls himself Dánishmand Khán, and tells us that he had received the title of Mukarrab Khán in the reign of Aurangzeb. It appears also from this work, that he wrote a book called Bádsháh-náma,* which was presented to the Emperor, and for which he received an augmen­tation of his mansab. The work is divided into months; and the two years and few months fill 262 leaves of fourteen lines to the page. It is written in an ambitious style, and abounds with quotations from the Arabic and of Persian verse.]
