Excerpt from The Career of Major George Broadfoot, C. B: Governor-General''s Agent N. W. Frontier, 1844-5, in Afghanistan and the Punjab; Compiled From His Papers and Those of Lords Ellenborough and Hardinge

The natural result of examination and selection from so great a mass of matter was that, as originally compiled, the work was on too large a scale. It had to be done over again so as to reduce its dimensions by a half. Though, in this process, much that was interesting to myself and to some of my friends has disappeared, I do not doubt that the book has gained substantially.
