First sentence: AFTER repeated delays and disappointments, the Koordish guide, who was appointed by the Pasha of Soolimaniah to be our compagnon de voyage as far as the banks of the Tigris, made his appearance, and having concluded all our preparations for the nature of our journey, which still lay through mountainous regions, where the roads were no better than mere mule-paths, and often beset by marauding parties, we bade adieu to Soolimaniah at noon-day, on the 14th of April.
