Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. Dost Mohamed Khan became master of Kabul in 1824, although he had at first, I believe, but a feeble hold upon it.* For his pedigree, and an outline of the events preced ing his acquisition, I must refer my readers to my previous volume on Afghanistan. I do not insert them here, as they are of no immediate import. From the time of his first becoming the ruler of Kabul, he has been constantly seeking for the friendship of the British government. Mr. Moorcroft, who was in the country at the time, mentions that he and his party were most earnestly entreated to become the channel of a negotiation for putting the whole country under British rule. Mr. M. Was at Peshawur when the application was made by Dost Mohamed's brothers, on behalf of their family; but his overtures have been, at least I think so, treated most unadvisedly, and himself, speaking with reference to past events, with injustice, when he was dispossessed of his throne.
