As a nobleman of the court of Aurangzeb (1618–1707), Iradat Khan (c.1649–1716) witnessed the decline of the Mughal empire. First published in 1786, these are his memoirs, translated by Jonathan Scott (1754–1829), an East India Company captain who wanted to educate the British about India's history.
