Bound in calf with marbled boards, showing wear and rubbing to the spine; institutional stamp on the title page. VERY RARE. No copies at auction ever. This foundational text offers a detailed account of the legal and constitutional framework of Afghanistan during the reign of Amir Abdur Rehman (1880-1901), a period marked by the establishment of the country's borders and a centralized, albeit autocratic, government. Authored by Sultan Muhammad Khan, a key figure in the Amir's administration and later ambassador to England, the work is significant for being the first to present Afghanistan's laws in English, providing a crucial intersection between traditional Afghan legal practices, Sharia law, and contemporary European legal thought.
