<p class="C1">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Volume I, comprising 250 folios, covers the period from 12 Chet 1895 Bk to 3 Je&#7789h, 1896/23 March 1839- May 1839 and contains news from Pesh&#257war. It starts with a meeting at Pesh&#257war between General Avitabile and Colonel Wade, the British political agent on the Anglo-Sikh frontier. Details of the effusive welcome given the latter are recorded, but nothing of what transpired between the two: There is also a report on the meeting between Colonel Wade and General Ventura (<i>q. v. </i>) on 10 Bais&#257<u>kh</u> 1896 Bk/21 April 1839. In the month of Bais&#257<u>kh</u> Samvat 1896, Prince Nau Nih&#257l Si&#7749gh visited Pesh&#257war where special arrangements were made for his stay. Every morning after listening to <i>p&#257&#7789h</i> (reading of texts) from the Gur&#363 Granth S&#257hib, the prince held his <i>darb&#257r</i>. Details are given of the income from revenue deposited in the treasury by the local landlords; also, of the expenditure of the army. It is recorded that the Sikh army officers stationed at Pesh&#257war were fully aware of the political situation in Afghanistan and that the Lahore Darb&#257r received through them regular reports on the events in that country. Another report tells of Prince Nau Nih&#257l Si&#7749gh's visit to Pesh&#257war in Bais&#257kh 1896/April-May 1839. The Prince held a darb&#257r at which he gave audience to the Pesh&#257war B&#257rakza&#299s-P&#299r Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n and Sult&#257n Muhammad <u>Kh</u>&#257n. Those in attendance on the prince included Atar Si&#7749gh Sandh&#257&#7749v&#257l&#299&#257, General Ventura, Lahi&#7751&#257 Si&#7749gh Maj&#299&#7789h&#299&#257, Fateh Si&#7749gh and Shai<u>kh</u> <u>Gh</u>ul&#257m Mohi ud-D&#299n. The Prince fell ill at Pesh&#257war and was treated by Hak&#299m Aiz&#257d Ba<u>kh</u>sh. Volume II, comprising 226 folios, covers the period from 2 Bh&#257do&#7749 1898 Bk to 29 M&#257<u>gh</u> 1898 Bk/15 August 1841--9 February 1842. It describes in general activities of Avitabile on the north-west frontier. It begins with the General holding a <i>darb&#257r</i> or court at which <i>k&#257rd&#257rs</i>, i. e. revenue officials and heads of the various departments, present reports of the conditions prevailing in the areas under their jurisdiction. The General checked the record of the income from revenue and the expenditure on the army. Reports from Bann&#363 and Koh&#257&#7789 were presented and instructions by the General were issued on the spot. He was also informed that on his way from Pesh&#257war to Koh&#257&#7789, Dr James, another of the European employees of Mah&#257r&#257j&#257 Ra&#7751j&#299t Si&#7749gh, was robbed by the Afr&#299d&#299s. Volume III, comprising 192 folios and covering the period from 16 Bh&#257do&#7749 1903 Bk to 8 Ph&#257gun 1903 Bk/29 August 1846---17 February 1847, contains reports from Bann&#363, &#7692er&#257 Ism&#257'&#299l <u>Kh</u>&#257n, &#298s&#257 <u>Kh</u>el, M&#363s&#257 <u>Kh</u>el, Kul&#257ch&#299 and &#7788o&#7749k. The principal character of this volume is D&#299w&#257n Daulat R&#257m, who regularly held court and conducted official business. News on trade and commerce is also given. The author relies for his news on official reports which the military governor of Pesh&#257war received from various districts and this makes the work authentic and reliable. Though the style resembles that of <i>'Umd&#257t-ut-Tw&#257r&#299<u>kh</u></i>, the author is definitely a different person.</p>਍㰀⼀漀氀㸀㰀瀀 挀氀愀猀猀㴀∀䌀伀一吀∀㸀䴀漀栀愀洀洀愀搀 䄀猀氀愀洀㰀戀爀㸀㰀⼀瀀㸀㰀䈀刀㸀ഀഀ
