    • 1879, William Wakefield, The Happy Valley: Sketches of Kashmir & the Kashmiris, London: Sampson Low, Marston, Searle, & Rivington, page 2:
      It is however to the northernmost portion of this immense mountain range that I wish more particularly to draw the attention of my readers; for here, beyond the rugged ridges that skirt the Punjab, whose snow-clad peaks are discernible by the traveller long before his arrival at their base, lies the country we are about to visit—the far-famed Vale of Kashmir, the ‘Happy Valley,’ the scene of the poet Moore’s inimitable Lalla Rookh.
