Transcriber's Note:

Apparent typographical errors have been corrected and hyphenationrationalised. Inconsistent accents have been retained.

The first of two maps precedes the Introduction. It lacks a captionbut probably depicts the Kabul or Khood Cabul Pass. "Boot Khak" named onthe map is probably the "Bhoodkhak" of the Journal.

The second map follows the Appendix. It depicts the British cantonmentsat Cabul.

NOTICE.

The absence of the Author from England, and the consequent impossibilityof consulting her during the progress of this work through the press,may have caused some errors to creep in,—especially in the spelling ofthe oriental words. The greatest care, however, has been taken to adhereexactly to the original manuscript.
