The Farhatu-n Názirín is very rare in India. I know of only one copy, and that is in the possession of Nawáb Takí Khán of Rohilkhand. From the numerous erasures and interlineations I should judge it to be an autograph. There is also a copy in England which was available to Dr. Lee, for he quotes it at p. 130 of his translation of the Travels of Ibn Batúta, but he does not notice it in his Preface, where he describes the other works which he quotes, nor does he mention the Library in which it is to be found. There is a copy in the British Museum, No. 6942, and one also in the Royal Library at Paris (Fonds Gentil 47, small folio of 1022 pages, of 17 lines each).

SIZE—Large 8vo., 520 pages of 19 lines in each, closely written.
