page 234 note 1 Watts admits (iii, 333) that the five captains made this report, though he says they were greatly mistaken. Captain Grant, who was at Cossimbazaar in October, 1755, says (i, 74) that the guns were in pretty good order, and that there were also eight Cohorn mortars 4 and 5 inches, with a store of shells and grenades. Apparently also there were forty guns of 9 and 6 pounds and a saluting battery of twenty-four guns of from 2 to 4 pounds.

page 236 note 1 It is also incorrect to say that be destroyed all the Hindu temples within four miles of Murshidabad. There is a famous temple nearer the city than that which dates from before his time.
