This history of MusalmÁn GujarÁt is based on translations of the Mirat-i-Sikandari (a.d.1611) and of the Mirat-i-Áhmedi (a.d.1756) by the late Colonel J. W. Watson. Since Colonel Watson’s death in 1889 the translations have been revised and the account enriched by additions from the Persian texts of Farishtah and of the two Mirats by Mr. Fazl LutfullÁh FarÍdi of Surat. A careful comparison has also been made with other extracts in Elliot’s History of India and in Bayley’s History of GujarÁt.
