Tabakat - I - Nasiri : A General History of the Muhammadan Dynasties of Asia Including Hindustan, Vols. I and II

This book, the text and notes together, will be found to be a very thesaurus of the most varied and often recondite historical material for the periods of which it treats, and many time honoured historical errors have been pointed out and rectified. It wants but one thing to make it still more acceptable to the student, and that is an index. The reviewers are tolerably sure to point this out for fear nobody else should see it. So the translator begs to say, once for all, that he is too weary, and his time too valuable, to take up any such work. Meanwhile, the index society will have here a capital tough subject for the charitable exertions.
