تلخیص
Tarīkh-i Jadīd is the first travelogue of Britain written in South Asia. It was written originally in the Persian language in the latter half of the eighteenth century by Munshī Isma'īl, but the manuscript remained undiscovered up till 1968. British orientalist Simon Digby (1932-2010) introduced the travelogue for the first time in 1968 but the actual text remained obscure. The complete travelogue in Urdu translation—along with the author’s introduction and notes on important people and places— is being published for the first time in this volume.
