First edition, a handsome copy. Vigne (1801-63) left Southampton for India in 1832, 'and, after passing through Persia, spent the next seven years travelling north-west of India. He visited Kashmir, Ladakh, and other parts of central Asia, besides travelling through Afghanistan, where he had several interviews with the emir, Dost Mohammed. Vigne was described by Boase as the first Englishman to visit Kabul ... Vigne described his travels in A Personal Narrative ... (1840) and Travels in Kashmir (1842). These two books give a valuable view of northern and western India before the establishment of British supremacy' (ODNB).
From Peshawar, Vigne 'crossed into Afghanistan in the Gomal area, south of the Khyber Pass, and made his way to Ghazni and thence to Kabul before returning to Peshawar' (Yakushi).
Abbey Travel 505; Yakushi V39.
