Note 692 — Chapter IX · Bokhārā, a Protected Native State

Khanikoff, Bokhara, p. 9. This author, who wrote in 1845, gives as the average price of good land a sum equivalent to £20 of our currency (p. 154). Forty years later the Russians paid £16 per acre for land required for their railway (Ney, En Asie Centrale, p. 311).
