"Traduction par Narcisse Perrin. Très rare. Ref. Atabey 636 ; Blackmer 914 Kinneir was attached to Sir John Malcolm's mission from India to Persia in 1808-09, acting as an agent at Bushire and making numerous journeys within Persia. In 1810 he went back to England but returned to India in 1813-14 by way of Cyprus, Constantinople, Bagdad and Bombay. It is this latter journey that is recounted here, though his earlier travels in Persia are also listed"
