ORIGINAL PREFACE
XXV
GIGLIOLI, at Florence ; to my old friend Major-General
ALBERT FYTCHE, Chief Commissioner of British Burma ;
to Dr. ROST and Dr. FORBES-WATSON, of the India
Office Library and Museum ; to Mr. R. H. MAJOR, and
Mr. R. K. DOUGLAS, of the British Museum ; to Mr. N.
B. DENNYS, of Hong-kong ; and to Mr. C. GARDNER, of
the Consular Establishment in China. There are not a
few others to whom my thanks are equally due ; but it
is feared that the number of names already mentioned
may seem ridiculous, compared with the result, to those
who do not appreciate from how many quarters the facts
needful for a work which in its course intersects so many
fields required to be collected, one by one. I must not,
however, omit acknowledgments to the present Earl of
DERBY for his courteous permission, when at the head of
the Foreign Office, to inspect Mr. Abbott's valuable
unpublished Report upon some of the Interior Provinces
of Persia ; and to Mr. T. T. COOPER, one of the most
adventurous travellers of modern times, for leave to
quote some passages from his unpublished diary.
PALERMO) 31st December, 1870.
