1 Indus; and a firmer bond of union was drawn for
2 mutual defence between the governments, Shortly
3 before this meeting, the late Sir Alexander (then
4 Captain) Burnes, had reached Lahore with a
5 present of horses from the British government, and
6 meditated those travels into Bokhara which ho
7 soon afterwards commenced- All the particulars
8 regarding this meeting are given in detail by Mr.
9 H. T. Prinsep, who was then principal secretary
10 with the Governor-general, and afterwards drew up
11 the history of Runjeet Singh, from the materials
12 furnished him,-: by- successive political agents. The
13 life of the Maharajah, of which we have presented
14 a sketch, may differ in some respects from Prinsep’s
15 as to dates; but the authority we have followed
16 appears, in many parts, the same as that from
17 which Murray and Wade derived their infor¬
18 mation.
