Excerpt from Ariana Antiqua: A Descriptive Account of the Antiquities and Coins of Afghanistan, With a Memoir on the Buildings Called Topes, by C. Mason, Esq. East has Company, Mr. Walker. Although, therefore, something remains to be effected before the information can be considered as complete, yet, as so much that is authentic and novel has been added to our store, I have thought it would be of service to geographical investigation to bring together the scattered details, and arrange them in a form in which they might be readily consulted by the scholars and geographers of this country. The same purpose influenced the attempt I have also made to follow the marches of Alexander into Bactria, the Paropamisus, and India, until his departure from the latter country.'
