520 _aThe travelogue is magnificent to say the least.Sir Alexander burnes style of writing is luscious.From the start one really gets to know the lay of the land, its people, the politics, economics and the intrigues in the air.As an observer his report on trade on Indus and state of sikh empire must have done good to his masters.He did a good job on that account.
