AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Lt. Col. Lorimer was the British Political Agent in Gilgit for the years 1920-1924. During this time he collected much information relevant to the Burushaski language, and in 1934 he returned to the area, remained for a year to complete his three volume work on the Burushaski vocabulary and language, and also collected some inmformation of an ethnographic nature. Of this volume, only the Preface by Morgenstierne and the Introduction have been processed for the file. In the Preface the relationship between Burushaski and other languages is discussed; the Introduction presents a short account of the land of the people.
