4. Johnson, in his _Journey to the Western Islands_, observes: 'Now and then we espied a little corn-field, which served to impress more strongly the general barrenness.' [W. H. S.] The remark referred to the shores of Loch Ness (p. 237 of volume viii of Johnson's Works, London, 1820). 5. By this awkward phrase the author seems to mean Lucknow, on the east, the capital of the kingdom of Oudh, and Udaipur, to the west, the capital of the long-descended chieftain of Mêwâr. Alternatively, the author may possibly have referred to Agra and Gwâlior, rather than Lucknow and Udaipur. 6. 'The new city at Gwâlior below the fortress is, like the city of Jhânsî, known as the 'Lashkar', or camp. The old city of Gwâlior encircles the north end of the fortress. The new city, or Lashkar, lies to the south, more than a mile distant. In January, 1859, the population of the two cities together amounted to 142,044 persons (_A.S.R._, vol. ii, p. 331). 7. Only those readers who have lived in India can fully understand the reasons why the pigs should frequent such a place, and how great would be the horrors of encamping in it. 8. In the description of the author's encampment at Gwâlior, he fell into a mistake, which he discovered too late for correction in his journal. His tents were not pitched within the Phûl Bâgh, as he supposed, but without; and seeing nothing of this place, he imagined that the dirty and naked ground outside was actually the flower- garden. The Phûl Bâgh, however, is a very pleasing and well-ordered garden, although so completely secluded from observation by lofty walls that many other travellers must have encamped on the same spot without being aware of its existence. (_Publishers' note at end of volume ii of original edition_. ) 9. Bhîlsâ is the principal town of the Isâgarh subdivision in the Gwâlior State. The famous Buddhist antiquities near it are described at length in Cunningham, _The Bhîlsâ Topes, or Buddhist Monuments of Central India_ (1854), and in Maisey, _Sânchi and its Remains. A full Description of the Ancient Buildings, Sculptures, and Inscriptions at Sânchi, near Bhîlsâ, in Central India_. With an Introductory Note by Major-General Sir Alexander Cunningham, K.C.I.E. (1892). It is surprising that so keen an observer as the author appears not to have noticed any of the great Buddhist buildings of Central India. 10. The government of Gwâlior has improved since the author wrote. Many reforms have been begun and more or less fully executed. In May, 1887, the vast hoard of rupees buried in pits in the fort, valued at five millions sterling, was exhumed, and lent to the Government of India to be usefully employed. The passive opposition of a court like that of Gwâlior to the effectual execution of reforms is continuous and difficult to overcome.
