The Travels of Dean Mahomed
In 1794, Mahomed published his travel book, The Travels of Dean Mahomet. The book begins with the praise of Genghis Khan, Timur and particularly the first Mughal Emperor Babur and describes several important cities in India, and describes a series of military conflicts with local Indian principalities.
Editor Michael Fisher suggested that some passages in the book were closely paraphrased from other travel narratives written in the late 18th century.
