- A VAZIERS DAUGHTER: a tale of Hazara War - BY LILLIAS HAMILTON, M.D. Court Physician to Abdul Rahman Khan, Amir of Afghanistan - A novel of Afghan life, as tragic and somber as actual life under the Amir is said to be. It narrates the brief and unhappy career of a heroic daughter of the Hazaras, a rude but worthy race of highlanders. She has to flee the pursuit of a savage general, seeks refuge in the household of a royal minister at Kabul and lays down her life for her protector. The delineation of manners and ways of life in Afghanistan make the book much more than a novel; the author was Court Physician to the Amir, whose idiosyncrasies are the subject of a careful portrait.
