Reflections on the Preceding History.
The contest for the empire of India here described is very like that
which preceded it, between the sons of Jahangir, in which Shah Jahan
succeeded in destroying all his brothers and nephews; and that which
succeeded it, forty years after,[1] in which Mu'azzam, the second of
the four sons of Aurangzeb, did the same;[2] and it may, like the
rest of Indian history, teach us a few useful lessons.
