Ferrier had been recruited to organize and drill the Persian army, but his
opposition to Russian interests in Persia led to his dismissal. “In
Afghanistan he started from Herat for India, intending to travel through
Balkh and Kabul, but, being unable to do this, had passed through the
Hazara country to the west of Kabul, and had reached Ghur. He was
sent back from Ghur, but had at least the satisfaction of exploring an
entirely unknown region of Afghanistan. “ - Baker.

original printed paper wrappers, uncut: a nice, fresh copy.
The first descriptive analysis of the phonology of an Irish dialect, based
upon Finck’s field-work in the Aran Islands. Modern linguists often
politely mention it’s importance since it “started” the process of works on
Irish dialects, but a modern experts on Aran Irish, James Duran,
complained that it was as good as useless because Finck happily mixed
forms from all three islands: he later changed his opinion and now
believes the work to be quite valuable.
