Excerpt from The Chronology of Modern India: For Four Hundred Years From the Close of the Fifteenth Century A. D. 1494 1894 Differences in the dates of events are not unfrequent, occur ring chiefly in translations of Muhammadan histories, - arising partly perhaps from inattention in computing the European from the Hijra reckoning - but also from other sources, - and it is difficult to rectify such differences when they amount to a year or more. When careful research is applied to such matters, cases of the kind will in course of time be cleared up; and though none of them are of great importance, they may be corrected when a second edition of this handbook is required.
