Description: The book begins with a brief vocabulary of ‘Persian, Hindoostani and other Oriental words’, to familiarize the readers with their usage later in the text. It is an interesting piece of work which is in fact a journal that the author kept while in Kabul in 1841-42 during the Anglo-Afghan War. The journal starts from September 1841 and goes on to give minute details of the activities of the British forces in Kabul. These were recorded almost on a daily basis by the author. The book gives the account of the English defeat in the war and their state thereafter.
