THE name of Central India, though new, and still indefinite as to the exact limits of the terri tories it comprehends, has been adopted in this work because it is the appellation by which Malwa and the contiguous provinces are designated in the official records of the Supreme Government. This region was hardly to be traced in the best maps, and we knew little of its inhabitants be yond the reports of that continued warfare and anarchy to which they had been exposed for the last thirty years, when the outrages committed by the hordes of plunderers to whom it had be come a home, compelled us to enter it with our armies in order that we might subdue them. In January 1818 the Author was placed by the Marquis of Hastings in the military and po litical charge of Central India and during the four years he filled that station, his own atterj iv PREFACE, tion, and that of the able public officers under his authority, was directed to the object of col lecting materials for the illustration of its past and present condition. These lie formed into a report, which was transmitted to Calcutta, where it was printed by order of Government. Several copies were sent to England, from which copious extracts found their way into periodical publica tions. Thisreport having been drawn up amid the hurry of other duties, and when the Author was in a bad state of health, had many imper fections that required to be corrected he there fore solicited permission from the Honourable Court of Directors to make it the groundwork of this memoir, which in consequence contains the substance of that official document. Notwithstanding this advantage, the Author has found his task much more difficult than he had anticipated and he almost despairs of attract ing general readers to a work, which, although it contains much new and interesting matter, is ne cessarily filled with names harsh and unpleasant to an Englishmans ear, and fatiguing to his memory. He has endeavoured to obviate this serious objection, by throwing many of the minute PREFACE. V details into the notes, and by transferring others to a very Full Appendix and comprehensive Index. But, after all, these volumes must derive their chief merit from the collection of facts illustrative of the genuine history and character of the Na tives of India, and from the fiscal and statistical information they contain. Though the previous studies and occupations of the Author had prepared him for the task he undertook still there was such a blank to fill up so little was known, and so much knowledge was indispensable before he could venture to transmit a report that was to be the foundation of public measures, that he would almost have shrunk from the undertaking, had he not been assisted in his researches by many public officers distinguished for their zeal, activity, and talents. Their desig nations, the duties they performed, the nature of the communications they contributed, together with the other sourcesof information, are stated in the Appendix.
