First UK edition, published two years after the unprocurable Bombay edition of 1829, which was privately printed "for the perusal of the author's friends". Uncommon, with three copies only traced at auction, and nine in UK libraries (including copies with Robert Cadell, the publisher, substituted in the imprint for Stark, the printer). Burnes (1801-1862) arrived in Bombay with his brother, Alexander ("Bokhara Burnes"), in 1821. "He filled various minor posts in the Indian Medical Service (IMS), and was successful in the open competition for the office of surgeon to the residency of Cutch. He volunteered to accompany the force which, in 1825, expelled the Sindians who had devastated Cutch and forced the British brigade to retire to Bhuj. The amirs of Sind then invited him to visit them as 'the most skilful of physicians and their best friend, and the cementer of the bonds of amity between the two governments', and on his return he was complimented by the government on the zeal and ability he had displayed at Cutch and Hyderabad. His account of his visit to Sind, written as an official report to the resident at Cutch, is an excellent account of the country, and was a valuable contribution to the geography of India" (ODNB), offering "a number of observations of court life in Hyderabad of which the most interesting describes the high level of mutual suspicion displayed among members of the ruling family" (Riddick).
