Excerpt from Studies of a Wandering Observer

As Abul Fazel says somewhere in the Ayeen Akbery, "I began this book and never thought to finish it; but who can withstand the decrees of Fate?" In truth, the circumstances which enabled and led me to write the following pages were such as I neither foresaw nor commanded.

For the information herein contained, how much am I indebted to friends, to acquaintances, to the conversation of fellow-travellers, to the kindness of strangers, to the corrections and advice of correspondents!

Those portions of the work which have already appeared in Fraser s Magazine and other periodicals are presented anew, with many additions and with some corrections, the result of fresh observation, correspondence, and study.
