Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Journal of the Royal Asiatic Society of Great Britain and Ireland, 1862, Vol. 19 For the subject of the following Essay, I am indebted to the kindness of Colonel Herbert Edwardes, c.b., late Commissioner of Peshawar. When I was stationed at Peshawar I heard that Major Lumsden, at Mardan (ih the country of the Yusufzies), was trying to collect a corps of Kafirs, and that he had already succeeded in getting three men of this remarkable race. I lost, therefore, no time in soliciting Colonel Edwardes to beg Major Lumsden to send these Kafirs to Peshawar for a few days, in order that I might have an opportunity to examine them personally. Colonel Edwardes kindly responded to my request, and, in a few days after, I had the pleasure to see the representatives of a race, which has excited so much curiosity in travellers and Oriental scholars.
