Preface
This booklet is intended to reveal to
all visitors of Kabul its outstanding places.
Some are noted for their beauty, others for
their economic importance, and some as
testimony to the glorious past.
The reader will find also a brief his-
tory of this ancient city, which we hope
will enable him to understand better what
great effort has been and is being made
by the Afghan people, in establishing the
most modern institutions in all fields of
Science and Culture.
But the booklet itself is only a point-
ing finger: the real beauty cannot be
described by anybody, it must be seen
to be believed.

Roughly two thirds of characters agree with a modern printed edition of the same text. Much of the disagreement is editorial, not misreading. Treat the transcription as a finding aid and read the page image before quoting. How this was measured.
