PREFACE
Wuen Major Molyneux asked me to combine with him in the production of a book on Kashmir I could not resist the temptation to describe what he had so faithfully depicted, though my official duties naturally leave me insufficient time to do real justice to the theme. I have not been able to write with the completeness that I should have wished ; and I am aware of many sins of omission. I can only hope that when the description fails the reader will be fortunate to have his atten- tion irresistibly diverted to one or other of my collaborator’s beautiful pictures.
