THE old Gazetteer of Jalaun formed a portion of the first volume of the N.-W. P. Gazetteer and was compiled for the most part from the settlement reports of Major Ternan and Mr. P. White. The history, except for the Mutiny period, was not dealt with separately, but was treated generally with the history of the Bundelkhand tract. The present volume is entirely new in form, and much of the matter is new. The district is not one of great interest from any point of view, and has never been so systematically investigated as most others have. Consequently the information on many points is very meagre, though it has been found possible to collect a large number of facts of interest from various sources. My personal knowledge of the district is small, and I am entirely indebted for the matter to the settlement reports of Messrs. White and Hailey, and to the notes left by Mr. F. J. Cooke. I also desire to acknowledge the kindness of Mr. R. H. L. Clarke in furnishing many notes connected with the present administration. The history I have myself compiled from various sources.
