Hardcover. Zustand: New. Language: English. About the Book:-The translator, having accomplished his very interesting, though laborious, task of rendering into English the manuscripts of General Ferrier, is anxious to avail himself of this opportunity to congratulate that officer on having added these instructive volumes to the Eastern literature of this country. They can be more thoroughly appreciated here than in France; and that they must prove of real value in England is evident when we consider how great are the interests involved in the development commercial, social, and religious of that vast continent which Providence has permitted to fall under the rule. The author has spoken of the arduous services of the Anglo-Indian army in Afghanistan. The style of the author is rather severe, and there are several portions of the present work in which there was an opening for much touching writing and for appeals to the highest and best feelings of our nature. When there was a duplication of thought, or want of arrangement, he has endeavored to remedy these defects in the interest of this rare yet available work. About the Author:-Joseph Philippe Ferrier (1811?86) was a French soldier who served as a military instructor in the army of Persia (present-day Iran) in 1839?42 and again in 1846?50. He was sent on a diplomatic mission to Europe by the Qajar ruler Muhammad Shah (1808-48, reigned 1834?48), but later fell out of favor with the shah and was forced to leave Persia. He returned to the Persian service in 1846, after undertaking a dangerous overland journey through Afghanistan and Persia in 1844?46. Ferrier produced two major books based on historical research and his personal observations. Caravan Journeys and Wanderings in Persia, Afghanistan, Turkistan and Beloochistan was published in London in 1857; the French edition, Voyages et aventures en Perse, dans l'Afghanistan, le Beloutchistan et le Turkestan appeared only in 1870. The book presented here, History of the Afghans, was published in London in 1858 and is an English translation of the manuscripts of Ferrier made by a British officer, Captain William Jesse.
