First edition. William Glen, a Scottish missionary and biblical translator, details his tour through Central Asia in the early nineteenth century. 'He offered his services to the Edinburgh Missionary Society as an overseas candidate, thus fulfilling a youthful ambition. After training, Glen, accompanied by his wife, went as a missionary to Astrakhan in southern Russia, where he remained for five years. He achieved little in the way of conversion but was more successful in his efforts to master the Persian, Arabic, and Turkish languages' (ODNB). - Karass is now a suburb of Zheleznovodsk, north of the Caucasus between the Black and the Caspian Sea, and was in the 19th century a popular Spa.
