The English explorer and author Sir Richard Francis Burton (1821-90) began his long and adventurous career in India, where he arrived in 1842 to join the 18th regiment of Bombay infantry as a young commissioned officer. In 1844 Burton's regiment was posted to Sind, the province located in present-day southeastern Pakistan, at that time only recently annexed by the British. Burton lived in Sind for a number of years and published three early books based on his experiences and observations: Scinde, or, The Unhappy Valley (two volumes, 1851), Sindh, and the Races that Inhabit the Valley of the Indus (1851), and Falconry in the Valley of the Indus (1852). The "unhappy valley" of the title of his first book refers to the valley of the Indus, which, along with the Indus River delta, largely defines the geography of Sind. More than two decades later, in 1875-76, Burton and his wife Isabel made a return visit to the province. Sind Revisited, published in London in 1877, is a result of this later journey. The book contains Burton's observations on the cities of Karachi and Hyderabad; the state of the Anglo-Indian army; relations among Muslims and Hindus and, in particular, the relentless pressure on the Hindus to convert to Islam; Sindi men and women; the Indus Valley Railway; and many other topics. Throughout, Burton uses the literary device of a fictitious traveling companion, "Mr. John Bull," to whom he addresses comments and asides. He also includes translations of poems and summaries of colorful local tales and legends, for example, that of "the seven headless prophets." In concluding remarks, Burton judges British rule to have had a positive influence, by bringing improvements in health and access to education for the Sindi people. The book is indexed but has no maps or illustrations.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1877 edition. Excerpt: ... PEEFACE. The man who first applied to Sind the nickname "Young Egypt " said, perhaps without intending to do so, an uncommonly good thing. Nothing more whimsical than the general and superficial likeness of Nature in the two "gifts of the sea," Nile-land and Indus-land. Karachi and Alexandria, Haydarabad and Cairo, the flatroofed mud-villages which stud the country, the First Cataracts and the Eapids about Sakhar-Bakar-Rohri and, briefly, the physical aspect of the valleys of the southern " Sindhu," or ocean-stream, and of the northern Hapi, or Tesh-Tesh, have the family look which becomes brothers. Equally noticeable are the differences of accidents, especially in those of Art. Young Egypt is very old in the annals of humanity. That pre-historic, or protohiBtoric, man was not wanting to her, is proved by the cores and flakes of flints, eocenic and nummulitic, which strew the heights and depths near Sakhar and Eohri. Hi..

Excerpt from Sind Revisited, Vol. 1 of 2: With Notices of the Anglo-Indian Army; Railroads; Past, Present, and Future, Etc Finally, the dedication addressed in 1851 to Lieut. Colonel, afterwards General, Sir Walter Scott, has per force been changed. My dear old friend finished his career full of years and honours during my flying trip in 1876, and he did not receive the last letter which I addressed to him from a country where his name will not readily be forgotten.
