Preface

In the present volume, I have selected from my work The Jummoo and Kashmir Territories' those parts which are most likely to interest the general reader. To the other book I would refer any who may wish for more detailed information on such subjects as the physical condition of the country, the distribution of languages and faiths within it, its political organization, or the routes that traverse it. All of these are there more fully treated, and by the accompanying maps and sections illustrated.

The map accompanying the present work shows particularly the distribution of Races; but it will also be found a sufficient topographical guide through the descriptions of the country.
