Excerpt from Cabool: A Personal Narrative of a Journey To, and Residence in That City, in the Years 1836, 7, and 8

The present volume contains the Personal Narrative of Sir Alexander Burnes, entire. But the publishers have thought it unnecessary to re publish the Appendix, which contains A Report on the River Iri dus, by Lieutenant Wood, Report of the establishment of a Fair for the Indus Trade, and which would have but little interest for the general reader, and add materially to the cost.

Excerpt from Cabool: A Personal Narrative of a Journey To, and Residence in That City, in the Years 1836, 7, and 8
Some time has now passed since the following pages were written. They contain my personal recollections of an interesting country through which I passed, and in. Which I resided whilst employed on a mission to cabool, in the years 1836-7 and 1838. Subsequent events have not diminished, as it appears to me, the anxiety of the public for information regarding these regions: on the contrary, the great political events of which they have since become the arena have given importance to all that apper tains to them. On political subjects, however, it is not, at present, my intention to enlarge. The time is yet distant when an accurate judgment can be passed on the line of policy which we have adopted; but the tra vellers through these countries will, in some degree, have paved theway for the political inquirer, if, in the mean while, they can portray something of the tone and spirit of the people among whom circumstances haveanow placed us. My esteemed friend, Lieutenant John Wood, of the Indian Navy, has already, in his valuable work, laid before the public the stirring incidents of his journey to the lofty regions of 'pamere, which was under taken while associated with myself on this mission to Cabool. I had long and fondly hoped that the easier task of giving the minor details, which I have now imposed on myself, would have fallen to the share of Dr. P. B. Lord, a dear and much valued friend; but his bright and short career has since abruptly terminated on the field of battle.
