Excerpt from Narrative of a Residence in Koordistan, and on the Site of Ancient Nineveh, Vol. 1 of 2: With Journal of a Voyage Down the Tigris to Bagdad and an Account of a Visit to Shirauz and Persepolis The account of the Author which is contained in the following Introduction supersedes the necessity of any biographical notice in this Preface.

He felt that a Very different book of travels in the East would be expected from one who had enjoyed so many advantages as himself, than could be claimed from the generality of travellers.
