Transcriber's Note:

Apparent typographical errors have been corrected and hyphenation rationalised. Inconsistent accents have been retained.

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

The second map follows the Appendix. It depicts the British cantonments at Cabul.

NOTICE.

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