Since It Was The British Complications With Persia Which Mainly Furnished What Pretext There Was For The Invasion Of Afghanistan By An Anglo-Indian Army In 1839, Some Brief Recital Is Necessary Of The Relations Between Great Britain And Persia Prior To That Aggression. By A Treaty, Concluded between England And Persia In 1814, The Former State Bound Itself, In case Of The Invasion Of Persia By Any European Nation, To Aid The Shah Either With Troops From India Or By The Payment Of An Annual Subsidy In support Of His War Expenses. It Was A Dangerous Engagement, Even With The _Caveat_ Rendering the Undertaking inoperative If Such Invasion Should Be Provoked by Persia. During the Fierce Struggle Of 1825-7, Between Abbas Meerza And The Russian General Paskevitch, England Refrained from Supporting persia Either With Men Or With Money, And When Prostrate Persia Was In financial Extremities Because Of The War Indemnity Which The Treaty Of Turkmanchai Imposed upon Her, England Took Advantage Of Her Needs By Purchasing the Cancellation Of The Inconvenient Obligation At The Cheap Cost Of About £300,000. It Was The Natural Result Of This Transaction That English Influence With The Persian Court Should Sensibly Decline, And It Was Not Less Natural That In conscious Weakness Persia Should Fall Under The Domination Of Russian Influence.

Daniel Defoe (/ˌdænjəl dɨˈfoʊ/; c. 1660 – 24 April 1731),[1] born Daniel Foe, was an English trader, writer, journalist, pamphleteer and spy, now most famous for his novel Robinson Crusoe. Defoe is notable for being one of the earliest proponents of the novel, as he helped to popularise the form in Britain and with others such as Samuel Richardson, is among the founders of the English novel. A prolific and versatile writer, he wrote more than five hundred books, pamphlets and journals on various topics (including politics, crime, religion, marriage, psychology and the supernatural). He was also a pioneer of economic journalism. [more]

The history of this volume can be given in a few words. Months ago I said to a beloved relative that during the greater part of my life I had more to do than I could well accomplish, and that now, with health and strength in a measure restored, I sometimes thought I had not enough to do. He said: "Why not write the reminiscences of your Indian life?" The counsel struck me as good, and I have acted on it. [more]
