selected by the Government of India.
But I venture to suggest for
consideration iOutil&ti, if only for
purposes of record, it might tWi he worth
retaining a list of Treaties concluded
in the recent past by Persia and now
spent or of insufficient interest to
justify the reproduction of their full
texts. It is also for consideration
whether it might not be useful to have
a list of any of the more important
International Conventions to which
Persia has recently acceded.
Paragraph 6 . - After discussion
with Sir Robert Clive and Mr. Jacks,
it was subsequently agreed that the
reference to the Anglo-Persian Gil
Company should be in the terms
embodied in the present Narrative
(page 24), and that no reference should
be made therein to the Company’s
engagements with the Persian Chiefs .

About this item
- Content
This part relates to the Government of India's decision to issue a revised edition of Aitchison's Treaties (full title: A Collection of Treaties, Engagements and Sanads Relating to India and Neighbouring Countries ), with revised narratives for each geographical area covered, incorporating the principal events that have occurred since the publication of the previous edition in 1909.
The part concerns the revised narrative for the section regarding Persia [Iran], Seistan [Sistan], Kerman and Persian Baluchistan, and includes extensive interdepartmental correspondence (most of which is dated 1929-1931) discussing the contents of the revised narrative, as well as the question of which treaties and agreements to include alongside it.
The correspondence goes on to cover the requirement for a fresh proof of the revised narrative, following the Government of India's decision (made in consultation with His Majesty's Government) to defer its publication, in order to include references not only to recent events but also to further developments that are expected in the near future.
Most of the part is made up of a copy of the second proof of the revised narrative (ff 24-41) together with copies of numerous related treaties, agreements and correspondence covering the period 1763-1928 (ff 42-216), of which a significant amount is written in French.
The main correspondents are the following: the Foreign Secretary to the Government of India; the British Legation, Tehran; officials of the India Office The department of the British Government to which the Government of India reported between 1858 and 1947. The successor to the Court of Directors. , Foreign Office, Colonial Office, and the Government of India's Foreign and Political Department.
