Tus old Gazetteer of Azamgarh was compiled and edited by Mr. F. H. Fisher, and did not profesa to be more than a reconstruction, in the form of a Gazatteor, of the ample materials in Mr. J. R. Reid's Settlement Report; while the directory appears to have been com-piled by Babu Bhuban Chandar Bose, the head clerk of the Azamgarh collectorate. The new volume is different in form, but most of the material, as in the old, has been derived from Mr. Reid's Settlement Report a book which, as every officer who has been in the district admits, contains complete information on almost every matter and gives almost as true a picture of the district to-day as it did in 1877. For new matter I am chiefly indebted to the rent-rate, assessment and final settlement reports of Messrs. J. C. Smith and C. E. Crawford, I.C.S.; while the history has been compiled from a variety of sources and the directory has been greatly enlarged. I also desire to acknowledge the ready help rendered by Mr. G. C. W. Ingram in supplying material and notes on various points.
