Introduction
WHEN I was returning through Khorasan in 1875, after my attempt to reach Herat, one resolve was uppermost in my mind, that "nothing would ever induce me to travel in these countries again." The fact was, all the salt had then gone out of that trip. I had undertaken it with a definite view in the interests of Government, and Government, rightly or wrongly, had interfered with me, and the trip had thenceforth no more interest for me, and the stages through the dreary wastes of Khorasan seemed interminable; the sun appeared to increase its fervour; the people became more uninteresting; nothing looked bright but a little spot in the old country, where my wee bairn was living; and having the meeting with her in prospect I lived in the future and forgot the present, always repeating, "Nothing will induce me to come again." Alas for the frailty of human resolves! here I am at it again! I cannot conceive how it has come about, for if there was one thing on which my resolve was fixed, it was that Central Asia should see my face again no more.
