REGARDING

THE MAP OF CENTRAL ASIA AND THE
INDUS.

On my return to Europe, I gave my original manu-
script surveys, protractions, and the whole of the
observations which I had made during a period of
nine years, while employed in different surveys
throughout Asia, together with such other authen-
tic documents as I had collected, to Mr. John
Arrowsmith. He has embodied these in a large
and comprehensive map, to illustrate this work;
combining, at the same time, the latest and best
information on the various countries within the
limits of the map. The task has been most labo-
rious ; but the accuracy with which it has been
performed will, I am sure, entitle him to the high
approbation of the public: since this map throws
a new light on the geography of this portion of
the globe. It is due to Mr. Arrowsmith to state,
that this map has been engraved at his own ex-
pense, and is now published in the most public-
spirited manner at his own risk.*

London, June, 1834.
