First sentence: As Affghanistan, a few years since but little known or cared for by Englishmen, has new acquired an interest in their estimation which will not soon be lost, first, as the scene of military triumph, and then, fearful reverse! the grave of a large British force; as the Dooraunee empire has been the daily theme of journals; and Dooraunee orders have been profusely showered open military men and diplomatists, it may not be amiss, before entering on my narrative, to give a slight outline of the rise and history of the Dooraunee monarchy.
