Seite 219 - Kharzar, 12,500 feet above the sea, the star-spangled banner gracefully waved amidst the icy peaks and soilless, rugged rocks of a sterile region, seemingly sacred to the solitude of an undisturbed eternity. We ascended passes through regions where glaciers and silent dells, and frowning rocks, blackened by ages of weatherbeaten fame, preserved the quiet domain of remotest time, shrouded in perennial snow. We struggled on amidst the heights of those Alpine...
Seite 44 - It is the largest town upon the Indus, and, even under the Sikh rule, it wears an appearance of increasing prosperity. Its merchants, though they do not speculate largely, have an extensive agency and a considerable command of money. The country around yields heavy crops of grain, and the staples of cotton and indigo; while its home manufactures of silken stuffs, such as gool buddens, timorees, &c., are only equalled by the manufacturing marts of Bhawulpoor and Moultan.

Seite 207 - Asia, that consequences of the most serious nature, must, in the end, flow from them, unless the British Government applies a prompt, active, and decided counteraction. I do not offer these as opinions founded on the periodical publications of all Europe, (though the coincidence of sentiment in all parties does not want its weight ;) but as formed on the scene of their intrigues, and it is my duty, as a public servant, earnestly to state them to my superiors.
Seite 217 - His eulogist, in the United States Gazette, says for him — " Among the most ' extraordinary events of General Harlan's career was his pas' sage of the Indian Caucasus in 1838-39, in command of a di' vision of the Cabul army, and accompanied by a train of ' artillery. We view this expedition as an incident altogether ' unique since the period of Alexander's conquests. With this ' prominent exception, no Christian Chief of European descent ' ever penetrated so far into the interior of Central Asia...
Seite 218 - Let no Christian be deceived by the fraternal appellation. Amongst the customs of the Orientals, we meet with strange perversions of our commonest received principles, and the term brother, in a community which springs from a system of polygamy, means a natural enemy, a domestic adversary, expectant heir of a capricious parent, contending for mastery in the disturbed arena of family feuds...
Seite 93 - From Hindustan there are four roads which lead up to Cabul. One of these is by the way of Lamghanat (the great road from Cabul to Peshawer) and comes by the hill of Kheiber, in which there is one short hill Pass. In all the rest of the roads there are Passes of more or less difficulty.
Seite 45 - The houses are of mud or sun-dried brick, terrace roofed, and rise from a ground platform of from one to two feet high. Few are of more than one story. When I passed through it in the middle of summer, the bazar was well frequented ; but in the winter months it is much more thronged. The town is a sort of nucleus or rallying point for those pastoral tribes of Afghanistan, who prefer a clement winter in the valley of the Indus, to the security of that which characterizes that of the mountain districts...
