Excerpt from The Sikhs and Afghans, in Connexion With India and Persia, Immediately Before and After the Death of Ranjeet Singh: From the Journal of an Expedition to Kabul, Through the Panjab and the Khaibar Pass

Being a stranger to the English people, and their language one foreign to my own, it may be expected that I should give some account of myself, the source to which I am indebted for the little knowledge I possess, and the motives which have encouraged me to publish my Journal.

I owe my education to the benevolence of the British Government in restoring, for the benefit of Indian youths in Delhi and the neighbouring provinces, the College founded in the time of the Mogul emperors, which had shared the fate of other public establishments in that city on the decline of their empire.
