Excerpt from A Memoir of Central India, Vol. 1 of 2: Including Malwa, and Adjoining Provinces; With the History and Copious Illustrations, of the Past and Present Condition of That Country The name ofiicentral India, thougli new, and still indefinite as to the exact limits of the terri tories it comprehends, ' has been adopted in this work because it is the appellation by which Malwa and the contiguous provinces are designated in the official records of the Supreme Government. This region xxwas hardly to be traced in the best maps, and we knew little of its inhabitants be yond the reports of that continued warfare and anarchy to which they had been exposed for the last thirty years, when the outrages committed by the hordes of plunderers to whom it had he come a home, compelled us to enter it with our armies in order that we might subdue them.
