Excerpt from A Geographical Memoir of the Persian Empire, Accompanied Dear Sir, This Map and Memoir are naturally dedicated to the person to whom they owe their origin. The short Geographical Sketch of the Persian Empire, which I first presented to you, has been subsequently enlarged and improved, by my own personal observations, and still more by the maps, journals, and routes, which I have received from you since your arrival in England. The task of reducing into a form proper for publication the mass of geographical information, which was acquired during your different missions to Persia, would, I am sensible, have been better performed by some other of the many able and enterprising Officers, then acting under your orders.
