The literary characters of that period were Alexander Pope, John Dryden, Joseph Addison, Savage, Butler, Gray, and several other minor wits.

12. The reign of Akbar is a glorious epoch in the history of the Moguls. He was himself a lover of justice, and administered it among his subjects with impartiality. He made no distinction between the Mahomedans and the Natives, and hence he was loved by almost all. He usually resided at Delhi. The principal characters of his court were Mahummud Khanjehrn, Surfan Khan, and Amirhusen.

13. Shahjehan, the father of Aurungzebe, fell sick, when the latter was in the Deccan. He hasted to the capital, and here threw his father into prison by intrigues which put an indelible stain on his memory, and thus ascended to the throne of Delhi. He had his three brothers competitors in the beginning, whom he overcame by means equally unjust and disgraceful.

Aurungzebe afterwards had an extraordinary rival in the person of a woman, who, by her bounties to the Faqueers, collected a large number of them, who declared her empress. In the beginning Aurungzebe took no notice of the matter, but when the rabble about her had been rendered invulnerable, it was given out, by her enchantment, her followers began to increase, aud Aurungzebe then became sensible of the danger which threatened him. But happily Aurungzebe had an equal degree of fame for sanctity, he wrote some illegible characters on a slip of paper, and put it on the head of a spear, the imperial troops being thus encouraged, soon gained a victory over the rabble, and they were dispersed.

The character of Aurungzebe was a mixture of many vices, with a few counterbalancing virtues. He was extremely selfish, and unscrupulous of committing any means which would serve his purpose. He was superstitious to the highest degree. But as a ruler Aurungzebe must be confessed an able sovereign. Sevajee was the son of Dadajee, a Maharatta chief. He came in collision with Aurungzebe in the Deccan in his conquest; and on one occasion taken prisoner to Delhi, he escaped from his p rison by an artifice, and continued for several years an enemy to Aurungzebe.

14. The battle of Gheria was fought between Sarfraz Khan and Aliverdy Khan; Aliverdy was successful, and he became the Soobadar of Bengal. SAMKRISTO PAULIT.
