In 1765, Mirza Sheikh I’tesamuddin, a Bengali secretary employed by the East India Company, traveled on a mission to Britain to seek protection for the Mogul emperor Shah Alam II. The mission was aborted by the greed and duplicity of Robert Clive, but it resulted in this remarkable account of the Mirza’s travels in Britain and Europe. This is an entertaining, unique, and culturally valuable document of those journeys.

"Translator Kaiser Haq does a superb job in bringing Mirza Sheikh I'tesamuddin's 18th century travel journal to life. Seeing England and Scotland through the Mirza's eyes gives us not only a unique perspective on Britain through a newcomer's eyes, but also lets us visit the late 18th century as a tourist."
