Excerpt from Afghanistan and the Central Asian Question: With Map "For my own part, I will only say that though I should have preferred, in the interest of peace, that Russia had not entered on a career of conquest along the Jaxartes and the Oxus, yet I see no reason at present to feel any anxiety about the advance towards India. Asia is large enough for both of us, and we may well pursue our respective paths, and fulfil our respective missions, without jostling or jealousy. Our position in Asia is quiescent, while hers is progressive... We can, therefore, well afford to wait, forbearing, but vigilant, and conscious that if real danger approaches at any time, we are strong enough to arrest and crush it." - Sir Henry Rawlinson's "Notes on Khiva," March, 1873.

Not illustrated. 1878 edition. Excerpt: ... afghanistan and the central asian question. chapter I. afghanistan--its natural features, Natural Boundaries--Approximate Extent of Afghanistan--Origin of Name--Independent Territory--What Afghan Dominions Include--Comparison of Afghanistan with Switzerland--Mountain-ranges--Hindu Kuril and its Prolongations--Safcd Koh--Suliman Mountains--Passes on the Indo-Afghin Frontier--Fort of Ali Musjid--Natural Divisions--Riven--Lakes--Provinces and Towns. afghanistan, or, as its name signifies, the land of the Afghans, may be roughly compared in area with Germany. The north-eastern part, called the Cabul valley, from the river of that name which waters it, is really the upper dominating section of the Indus basin; and there is some ground, therefore, for the statement which has been made that physically, at least, Eastern Afghanistan is part and parcel of India. And if all the nationalities of the earth were to strike for " natural boundaries," India might have as good a right to claim the Cabul valley as her own I ''. as Spain would have to include Portugal, or Germany to take Belgium and Holland. What was said just now as to the extent of Afghanistan must be regarded as a mere approximation to the truth, for the best maps can only keep pace with skilled explorers, and these have been few and far between in the countries between the Oxus and the Indus, so that accurate information is not yet to be had on many interesting points connected with their natural features. Enough, however, can be gathered for a rough conception of them from scattered notes of hasty travellers, who passed through the country keeping, so to speak, one eye on the scenery and the other on thei

George Bruce Malleson was a British army officer and military historian who had served in India and who wrote prolifically on the history of India and Afghanistan. One of his major works was History of Afghanistan from the Earliest Period to the Outbreak of the War of 1878, a political and military history of Afghanistan that was published in London in 1879, shortly after the outbreak of the Second Anglo-Afghan War (1878-80). The Russo-Afghan Question and the Invasion of India, published six years later, has the same theme as the earlier book, namely the strategic importance to the British Empire of Afghanistan as a buffer against Russian expansionism and the growing seriousness of the Russian threat to Afghanistan and by extension to India. The immediate impetus to Malleson's writing the second book was the Russian annexation of Merv (in present-day Turkmenistan) and the formation of a joint Anglo-Russian boundary commission to determine the northern frontier of Afghanistan. The author argues that the territories recently seized by Russia historically belonged to the amir of Afghanistan and should be returned to him. The key strategic point, Malleson argues, is Herat, "the outlying redoubt of India" and in his view the next objective in the Russian campaign of expansion. Malleson calls for a forceful response to the threat from Russia, and specifically the concentration of "all our available troops in the Pishin valley, ready for a prompt advance" to Herat. Chapter nine, "The Armies on Both Sides," contains a detailed accounting of the size, composition, and strength of Russian military units deployed in Central Asia and of the British and Indian troops available for the protection of India. The book presented here is the second edition of The Russo-Afghan Question and the Invasion of India, published in 1885.
