A descriptive account of the antiquities and coins of Afghanistan; with a memoir on the buildings called Topes by C. Masson. Written by the famous name in oriental, and Sanskrit studies – H.H. Wilson’s present work is one of the earliest thoroughly researched works on the classical region of Ariana - which includes Afghanistan and parts of boarding eastern Iran. Drawing on the initial efforts of Charter Masson, this meticulously planned work beings a note on Indo Bactiran coins, then follow notices of the Topes (Stupas) and sepulchral monuments; chapter 3 offers observations on the ancient Bactria. Chapter 4 – divided into 3 sections, is the concluding chapter. It gives the history of the various dynasties and Kings who have ruled this area from the time of the Greeks to the Sasanian king – i.e. pre -muslim conquest. Among the dynasties mentioned are Greek dynasties, barbarian Kings, Indo-Parthians, Indo-Scythians, and finally the Sassanian and Hindu coins. There are 22 plates in this work that show the antiquities, topes, a map of Ariana, table of characters, and coins. This work is a reprint of the 1841 edition.
