Several Short Accounts of Different States of Rajputana, Their History, Statistics, and General Information Relating to them
- Scope & Content:
-
pp. 1-180: Copies of several short accounts of different states of Rajputana, their history, statistics, and general information relating to them, written by Capt(n) James Tod in 1815-16.
They comprise the following chapters :- (1) pp. 1-45: Jeipoor [=Jaipur] or Dhoondar [=Dhūndhār], including sections on (a) History; (b) p, 14: Boundaries, Extent, Population and Inhabitants; (c) p. 18: Table of the 12 Sons of Pirthi Raj, &c.; (d) p. 19: Revenues, &c., followed by a number of statistical tables; (e) p. 40: Army; (2) pp. 47-107: Jodpoor [=Jodhpur] or Marwar [=Mārwar], with subdivisions very similar to the above; (3) pp. 109-55: Beekanair [=Bīkaner], similarly treated; (4) pp. 157-62: Bhutnair [=Bhatnair] & the Tracts North of it to the River Garah, a much briefer sketch than the others: (5) pp. 163-80 contain a duplicate of pp. 1-17 and half of p.18 of the volume. These essays apparently formed the nucleus which the author afterwards expanded into his great work, the Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan (2 vols., 1829, 1832).
