Annals and Antiquities of Rajasthan, v. 2 of 3 / or the Central and Western Rajput States of India

Opening of the book

Transcriber’s Note:
The text is annotated with numerous footnotes,
which were numbered sequentially on each page.
On occasion, a footnote itself is annotated by a
note, using an asterisk as the reference. This
distinction is followed here. Those ‘notes on
notes’ are given alphabetic sequence (A, B.,
etc.), and are positioned directly following the
main note.
Since there are over 1500 notes in this
volume,
they
have
been
gathered
at
each
chapter’s end, and resequenced for each chapter.
Links
are
provided
to

from
the
reference to the note, and back.
The notes are a combination of those of the
author, and of the editor of this edition. The
latter are enclosed in square brackets.
Finally,
the
pagination
of
the
original
edition, published in the 1820’s, was preserved
by Crooke for ease of reference by including
those page numbers in the text, also enclosed in
square brackets.
Crooke’s plan for the renovation of the Tod’s
original text, including a discussion of the
transliteration of Hindi words, is given in
detail in the Preface. It should be noted that
the use of the macron to guide pronunciation is
very unevenly followed, and there was no intent
here to regularize it.
There are a number of references to a map,
sometimes referred to as appearing in Volume I.
In this edition, the map appears at the end of
Volume III.
Minor errors, attributable to the printer,
have been corrected. Given the history of the
text,
it
was
thought
best
to
leave
all
orthography as printed.
Please see the transcriber’s note at the end
of this text for details regarding the handling
of any textual issues encountered during its
preparation.
