This manuscript is given at full length; another copy in my library No.247 is abridged one - and the printed edition is very much retrenched.

"During my last travel to Benares, I took my mute in going thro' Cuddapah, Hyderabad, Nagpore, Jabalpore, Mirjapore and Allahabad. In return I came by Gazpore,(Chaprah),Patna, Gyah, Caltutta, Pooree, Ganjam and all Northern districts, and kept a correct journal of the same. I beg also to inform you that in that journal. I have been giving a correct brief histories of all the Hindoo holly places, rivers, etc., and made several observations upon Hindooism, Mahamadism and Christianity: also upon Hindoo Mi theology and Astronomy. I have also commented shortly upon customs, manners, castes, laws and late Governments of the several places"
