Introduction
THE publication of this single volume on the very extensive, though as yet imperfectly known country, called Balochistan, had been determined upon for a two-fold reason. First, because all information concerning this immense tract has hitherto been contained, not alone in a few books of history and travel of a somewhat old date, but in numerous Govern-ment reports and pamphlets, either printed or in manuscript, which have appeared at various times during the past forty years. The information contained in each of these is no doubt valuable, and it was thought, that if the whole of these disjecta membra were collated with some amount of care and diligence into one volume, and arranged in such a manner as might be deemed most acceptable to the general reader, its value as a work of reference upon matters connected with Balochistan would be at once appreciated.
