*^* The press, both of Great Britain and India, have combined in eulogizing the 

 value of this work, but it may only here be needful to quote the following remarks from 

 the editorial columns of the Standard o[ the 10th of April, 18i3: — "We have elsewhere 

 copied from Mr. Parbury's Hand-Book to India and Egypt, an interesting account of the 

 Ciiy of Hyderabad. Let us, in acknowledgment of the means afforded to us to inform 

 and gratify our readers, say of Mr. Parbury's work, as we may with truth, that it is the 

 best Topograpliical Guide to the countries to which it refers we have ever seen, a most 

 interesting book, independently of its topographical utility, and an almost indispensable 

 key to the late transactions in Central Asia."

" He fulfils his historic vocation by an ample resume of the more prominent incidents 

 which have distinguished the fortunes of the Pascha, upon whose policy of general mono- 

 poly his strictures are severe enough, and acquits himself creditably from his spirited and 

 highlv coloured sketches of the abundant objects to which he draws attention." — Morning 

 Herald.
