The town of Pawley is the greatest mart in this part of Rajepootana; for there the merchants exchange the commodities of Europe, Perfia, and Deckan, for thofe of Cashmere, Punjaub, and Hindoostan.

The trade in moft parts of the Rajepoot country is carried on by camels or bullocks; this is unavoidable, the fandinefs of the foil rendering it almost impaffable to carriages.

V. KOTA AND BOONDY.

The produce of Mewar, Kota, and Boondy, the eastern parts of the dominions of Jypoor, and the districts poffeffed by the rajah of Karoolee, may be mentioned under the following heads: horfes, camels, and other cattle, but inferior to those produced in the more western countries; matchlocks, fwords, cloth of a coarse manufacture, wheat, rice, fugar, chuna, barley, and all other Indian grain; and though about fourteen or fifteen cofs north of the city of Oudipoor fulphur is produced, it is inferior to that which comes from Surat.

From the abundant production of those countries, a perfon would naturally think the inhabitants were in want of few importations; but they are extravagant in their mode of living, and fond of foreign luxuries.

Their imports and exports correspond with thofe of Jypoor; European and Perfian articles come by the channels of Gujerath, Jefelmere, and Pawlee. From the Deckan, by way of Bapaul Soronge, Udjeen, and Endore, to Kota and Beelwara, in the Mewar diftrict.

The Ghoffeins of Nathdorah, a place twelve cofs north from the city of Oudipoor, carry on a confiderable trade with the provinces of Gujerath, and Tatta, and with Rajepootana, Punjaub, and Hindoostan.

This trade confifts of pearls, precious ftones, arms, fhawls, cloth of every fort, and in fhort the production of all nations that trade to India. Kota being in a central pofition, and the rajah a man of good character, is a place

of great trade, and ferves as a general depofit

for merchandize.

VI. JYPOOR. PRI

The Jypoor country producing in itfelt almost every neceffary article, does not ftand in fuch real want of foreign commodities. The rajah is in part poffeffor of Samber, which produces plenty of falt, as likewife do the diftricts of Senganah and Berath. To these may be added copper, mines, alum, blue ftone, and verdigrife. There are likewife in most parts of Jypoor good cattle, though not in quality equal to thofe of Joudpoor.

In all parts of the Jypoor dominions are manufactories of cloth, of fwords, and of matchlocks.

Its imports are, fine cloths, the tiffue manufactures of Benares, and shawls from Cashmere. From Guzzerath and Tatta are fupplied opium, lead, and sheet copper; horses

and fruits from Perfia were formerly introduced by the route of Beykaneer, but at prefent the Karwans pafs through Jefelmere, and Joudpoor. The court of Jypoor being splendid and luxurious, fo is the confumption of the productions of other countries confiderable. This encourages trade, and leads to an intercourse with all parts of India.

THE following profpectus, drawn eleven years ago, when the compiler of thefe memoirs was employed on a furvey ordered by government through the Dooab and the countries adjacent, will exhibit to the reader the outlines of a plan, the greater part of which is now, by God's bleffing, happily accomplished.

It is here, therefore, that he wishes to pay the tribute so deservedly due to the memory of that illustrious luminary, the father of oriental literature, his honoured and revered friend, Sir William Jones, whofe kind encouragement firft infpired the compiler with an ardour for eaftern literature, and whofe bright example and uncommon acquirements in every branch of polite learning, muft ever prove the best and strongest incentive to the exertions of British youth.
