A Personal Narrative of a Visit to Ghuzni, Kabul, and Afghanistan, and of a Residence at the Court of Dost Mohamed : With Notices of Runjit Sing, Khiva, and the Russian Expedition

Omtale

This is an important early description of Afghanistan, published in 1840 by the barrister and traveller Godfrey Thomas Vigne (1801–63), perhaps the first Englishman to reach Kabul. It is a compelling account of a remote but strategically significant country and its local life and customs.
