Excerpt from Through Central Asia: With a Map and Appendix on the Diplomacy and Delimitation of the Russo-Afghan Frontier HE recent settlement of the russo-afghan Fron tier question has suggested the present as a suitable time to meet a wish that has been expressed for a popular edition of my larger work on Russian Central Asia, including Kuldja, Bokhara, Khiva, and Merv. It suggested also the desirability of adding an Appendix, showing the course of events and diplomatic correspondence which led to the appointment of the Afghan Boundary Commission, and of giving a sketch of the manner in which the delimitation had been performed. Upon inquiry at the libraries of the Royal Geographical Society and at the India Office for a compendium on the subject, I was told that no such summary existed. I have endeavoured, therefore, to make one from the Blue Books at the India Office, and from letters supplied, by officers on the Commission, to the Times of London and the Pioneer of India, some of the latter of which, up to the return of the major portion of the Indian escort, have appeared in Travels with the Afghan Boundary Commission, by Lieut. A. C. Yate. In condensing material and making extracts from the Blue Books on Central Asian Correspondence from 1872, I have been careful frequently to give dates or other clues whereby those who Wish to examine matters more minutely can readily refer to the sources quoted and I would take this opportunity to thank the officials at the India Office for their courtesy and readiness to afford me assistance.
