Predecessors and Short History: A
former Princely state founded in 1714, before the cession of Rohilkhand
to the British Government, it was almost entirely surrounded by the
dominions of the Wazir of Oudh. A tribute of Rupees 450,000 was paid by
the Nawab Rais of Farrukhabad to the Wazir. This tribute was ceded to
the British Government by the Treaty with the Wazir of 10th November
1801 (Oudh Treaty No. XXXVIII). In 1802 the Nawab ceded (Oudh Treaty
No. XIX) the
sovereignty of the province to the British Government, who settled on
