Travels Into Bokhara (Volume 2 of 3) / Being the Account of A Journey from India to Cabool, Tartary, and Persia; Also, Narrative of a Voyage on the Indus, From the Sea to Lahore, With Presents From the King of Great Britain; Performed Under the Orders of the Supreme Government of India, in the Years 1831, 1832, and 1833

A travel narrative recounts an overland journey from India across deserts, river valleys, and mountain passes into Central Asia and Persia, mixing vivid caravan episodes—sandstorms, frozen rivers, Turkoman camps, bazaars, and ruined fortresses—with practical observations on routes, flora, fauna, and local customs. It also offers systematic geographic and historical studies: analyses of the Oxus and its valley, ethnography of Turkoman, Uzbek, and neighboring peoples, assessments of political power in Bokhara, Khiva, Khorasan, and the Punjab, and concise notes on trade, horses, and frontier relations among Persia, Afghanistan, and Russia.
