 vi PREFACE TO THE NEW EDITION. troversy fully set forth in the appendix. In almost all other matters the alterations I have made are purely verbal. The spelling I have adopted is mainly that favoured by the late Professor Blochmann ; similar in almost every case to that employed in the late Sir Henry Elliott's " History of India by its own Historians," a work I have carefully consulted in connection with the revision of the present volume.
