Overview

Excerpt from The Social History of Kamarupa, Vol. 2 The first part of this book was published four years ago and in the Introduction lhad given an outline of the plan to be followed in the second part. But I regret to say that the last four yesur have b n to me a period of great trial as owing to chronic nephrites and asthma attended with weakness of heart, I passed my time Istruggling between life and death, and had in consequence to give Up some of the details that l lyard thought of working out in this part. When ever I could snatch a'j'few days of comparative health, I set myself to work, but I experienced a great obstruction from the dilatoriness of the press. I had to change four presses successively for completing this work, the shortness of accented types infihese presses made it impossible for me to observe uniformity in the spelling of those words which had to be accented. Defects and irregularities on this head will be observed throughout the book. For which I beg to be excused. One of the noteworthy features of this book is that lhave given in the appendix exhaustive genealogical tables hf the Baro Bhuiya and of the leaders of various sects principally the Vaisnavas, whose history] have treated in this part. I had to collect these accounts from some Assamese gentlemen and I beg to offer my heartfelt thanks to them.
