'...Salar Jung, the distinguished personage...was appointed Minister [of Hyderabad], and under his admirable administration tranquillity was restored, lawless mercenaries were repressed, disorder was checked, and the country began to assume a new aspect. On the death, in 1869, of the late Nizam, Sir Salar Jung, in connection with another native nobleman, assumed the position of Regent during the minority of the present ruler, who, on his succession in that year, was but three years of age. His government is said to be excellent'. From "Illustrated London News", 1876.
