Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Through Persia by Caravan During the summer of 1875, my wife and I left London, intending to travel through Russia and Persia. In the fol lowing chapters I have transcribed our notes, commencing at Warsaw. From Poland we passed to St. Petersburg, and from the Russian capital southward to Astrakhan. We traversed the Caspian Sea from extreme north to south, and, landing at Enzelli, rode through the whole length of Persia - a distance of more than a thousand miles. Leaving the Caspian Sea early in October, we arrived at the Persian Gulf in February. In March we were in Bombay; in April at Alexandria. Had I chosen a Persian title for these notes of travel, I would have taken Zil-ullah, which is assumed by the two great sovereigns of the Mohammedan world. Nazr-ed-deen, Kajar, Shah of Persia, and abdul-hamid, Sultan of Turkey, are styled, in the high official language of their own coun tries, Zil-ullah (shadows of God). In Christendom there is one sovereign, and only one, the Tsar, upon whom is im posed the awful burden of representing the ideal of wisdom.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Caravan Journeys and Wanderings in Persia, Afghanistan, Turkistan, and Beloochistan At this point the following Narrative begins. It de tails with spirit and liveliness his journey through Persia till he reached the territories of Yar Mohamed; and here the more important part of the book commences, because henceforward the countries through which he passed are little known. There is probably no part of the world, not excepting the interior of Africa, which is so dangerous and inaccessible to the European traveller as Afghanistan and the countries of Central Asia. It is curious to read a Frenchman's account of Herat seven years after the celebrated siege, and four years after our evacuation of Afghanistan. It is satis factory to find from an impartial witness the respect in which the English name is still held in these countries, and the grateful remembrance which the people enter tain of the many acts of benevolence and kindness per formed by our distinguished countrymen while there. The graphic account of the interviews of M. Ferrier with that shameless politician, but most able ruler, Yar Mohamed, will also be found characteristic and instructive. From Hera't M. Ferrier tried to penetrate to Lahore by Balkh and Cabul, and here takes us over ground only partially known. Baffled in his attempt to pass, when at no great distance from Cabul, he strikes through the Hazarah country to the west by a route which no Afghan dare travel, and where no European had hitherto set foot, till he nearly reached the ancient town of Gour. Here he was again stopped, and sent back to Herat. After resting from his labours, although warned of the danger of attempting it, he now set out to try and reach India through Southern Afghanistan, by Girishk and Candahar, and it is only wonderful, after reading his perilous adventures, to find that he was enabled to return alive from these inhospitable lands.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from From the Black Sea: Through Persia and India These preliminary lines of explanation are only to show why this journey was undertaken at such an unfortunate moment, and that there was some underlying method in its apparent madness. When the route was first mapped out, it was our intention to follow the line of the Trans Caspian Railway to Samarcand, and thence to Herat, and through Afghanistan to India. But the political situation and the civil war in Afghanistan rendering such a trip hazardous, we decided to take the trans-persian direction, and to enter Persia near Meshed.

In this way they account for its peculiarly unlevel surface. And as the rising sun glowed upon the summits of the lower mountains of the Elburz chain, upon which we looked down shortly after our encounter with the camels, the whole land seemed to be covered with hill-tops. The Khan had ridden on to Kharzan to a caravanserai near the end of the pass, and was standing in the doorway when we rode up, shivering with cold.
