vi PREFACE TO THE SECOND EDITION.

many defects that still remain, I trust that I
have altered in such a manner as to leave
stronger impressions on the mind. I have now
appended Mr. John Arrowsmith's map, on a
reduced scale, for the convenience of reference;
but I would still recommend the larger map to
the reader who seeks for geographical inform-
ation. It only, therefore, remains for me to
express my gratitude for the very favourable
reception which I have met with from the
public.

To my French and German translators my
best thanks are due; and it cannot be believed
that I am indifferent to the approbation of the
societies in my native country and literary men
of Vienna, Berlin, and Paris. The Reviewers
will find that many of their hints have been
attended to, which is the best return that I can
make for their indulgence towards me.

Alex. Burnes.

*** The opportune arrival of a " Life of Runjeet Sing, by
H. T. Prinsep, Esq.," has enabled me to have a copy of a
portrait of that personage prepared for this edition. It is a
good likeness, and, I believe, the only one ever taken with the
front face.

London, 1835.
