Excerpt from A Guide for Visitors to Kashmir It is placed by its elevation above the reach Of the heat of Hindustan and sheltered by the surrounding mountains from the blasts of the higher regions; it enjoys a delicious climate, and exhibits in the midst of snowy summits a scene of continual verdure, and almost of perpetual spring. To an invalid Kashmir is health-giving; to an archaeologist it affords ample material for research; to an artist it presents Nature's loveliest and most sub lime sceneries; to a geologist many abstruse and still undiscovered problems of strata and foliation; to a botanist a large field of still unclassified flora; to an ethnologist and philologist a puzzling inhabitant and language; and last, but not least, to the sportsman one of the best hunting grounds for large game in the whole world. The number of visitors to the beautiful vale of Kashmir will certainly increase year by year, now that the valley is connected with the Punjab by a good cart road, cut along the mountain side. The road has already given a great impetus to the trade of Kashmir, and ought to gradually develop all the resources of the valley.
