Excerpt from History of the War in Afghanistan, Vol. 1 of 3 The present Edition of the History of tae War in Afghanistan has been thoroughly revised; and several alterations have been made, which I hope mav be fairly regarded also as emendations. Some of the notes have been abridged; and others, when the importance of their subject-matter seemed to warrant it, have been incorporated with the text. I have freely and gratefully availed myself of such information and such suggestions as have been furnished to me by others since the first appearance of the Work, whilst my own more recent historical and biographical researches have enabled me to illustrate more fully in some places my original con ceptions, and in others to modify or to correct them.
