Description:Excerpt from A Varied Life: A Record of Military and Civil Service, of Sport and of Travel in India, Central Asia and Persis; 1849-1902The possession of a continuous diary, which I have kept up since 1857, and some notes of my earlier experiences, has tempted me to produce this amount of a varied life. I find that my diary notes recall vividly the events and matters of which they speak, and prompt recollection of the fuller information concerning them and their times, which is stored in the cells of my memory. My personal acquaint ance with five Central Asian Sovereigns during an active life in the East may lend some interest to my story. I am painfully aware of the egotism which runs through the narrative, but I find some relief in the common knowledge that this defect is more or less inseparable from an autobiography. I have tried to make the Memoir as light as possible, and not to burden it too heavily with minor details, or much repetition of what has appeared in my books, the Roof of the World and Persia Revisited.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
