"A geographical memoir of the Persian empire, accompanied by a map"

POLITICAt ASSISTANT TO BRIGADIER GENERAL SIR JOHN MALCOLM, IN HIS MISSION TO THE COURT OF PERSIA.

TO

BRIGADIER GENERAL SIR JOHN MALCOLM,

KNIGHT OF THE ROYAL PERSIAN ORDER OF THE LION AND SUN, AND

LATE MINISTER PLENIPOTENTIARY FROM THE SUPREME GOVERNMENT OF

INDIA TO THE COURT OF TEHRAUN.

 

Dear Sir,

 

This Map and Memoir are naturally dedicated to the person

 

to tvhotn they owe their origin. The short Geographical Sketch of

the Persian Empire, which I first presented to you, has been subse-

quently enlarged and improved, by my own personal observations,

and still more by the maps, journals, and routes, which I have received

from you since your arrival in England.

 

The task of reducing into a form proper for publication the mass

of geographical information, which ivas acquired during your different

missions to Persia, would, I am sensible, have been better performed

by some other of the many able and enterprizing Officers, then acting

under your orders. As, however, it has devolved on me, 1 have

endeavoured to execute it in a manner that may shew the value and

utility of their labours, and, at the same time, prove satisfactory to

you, by whose directions they ivere undertaken. The great Provinces

of Mekran and Seistan, ivhich intervene between Persia and India,

and a knowledge of which it was of so much importance to acquire,

were, before you projected and carried into effect the plan for

exploring them, only knoivn to Europeans from the indistinct

accounts of ignorant natives, or the obscure page of the historians of

Alexander the Great.

 

I cannot but avail myself of this opportunity of publicly profess-

ing the gratitude and regard with which I must ever remain,

 

Your's, affectionately,

JOHN MACDONALD KINNEIR.
