New English Original bdg. HC. Roy. 8vo. (24 x 17 cm). In English. [xii], 398 p. Abdülhamid II and the Muslim world. "Abdulhamid II is no doubt one of the most controversial Ottoman Sultans in history. A massive literature continues to florish about him and his policy of pan-Islamism. Sometimes permeated by biased and subjective approaches, this literature is increasingly deminated by more balanced and objective accounts depicting a more realistic image of the Sultan ed the developments of his reign.The present book represents a fine example of the latter group of studies. It contains a well-documented anlysis of the policies of Abdulhamid II, particularly pan-Islamism, with due regard to the international political environment and the intellectual movements surrounding the idea of Islamic unity and solidarity.".

6 pages of the account. Plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 13 x 14 inches (33 x 36cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An interesting travel account of Campbell's visit to the remote district of Shoarawak Valley, previously unknown to the Europeans, situated in the southeastern part of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Inhabited by mixture of Barechi Pathans and Brahuis, who possessed large flocks of camels, goats and sheep, the valley is almost destitute of trees. On May 1879, Major Campbell and his party, also visited the Toba table for the purpose of surveying the plateau located at the north eastern extremity of the Khwaja Amran range of mountains. This table land is divided into two portions called Toba and Tabin, according to the Campbell, the western part of Toba and Tabin belonged to the Atchazai Pathans and the eastern portion of Toba was the property of the Kakar tribes. However, frequent quarrels between these tribes over the territory have always caused the death of several men each year. Also included is a beautiful fold-out color map of "The Country Between Sind and Candahar", by W. J. Turner, showing the constructed and proposed railway. Shorawak valley is a narrow strip of flat country lying between the desert on the west and north west and a range generally known as the Sarlat Hills to the east. Its total length is about 40 miles with a width of 10 miles at the northern end and it is 3,250 feet above the sea. The head of the valley to the north is closed in by the southern spurs of the Khwaja Amran range of mountains which nearly join tie north-western spurs of the Sarlat Hills, only leaving a gap of about a mile through which the Lora river runs into the valley. The desert which stretches away westward as far as the Persian frontier rolls up in the form of sand hills to the edge of the cultivated land of the valley. The Lora river which waters the valley runs nearly dry in summer and its water is always brackish. The name of the valley drives from the Persian words, Shor brackish and Abak, meaning the scarcity of water. Major Campbell suggested that Shorawak was once a lake which was gradually silted up by deposits from the Lora and this seems to account for most of the phenomena. The river after flowing through the valley is swallowed up in the sand of the desert.

This is a complete monthly issue of the Geographical Journal, containing the above described narrative and other accounts as well. Seldom found in such good and original condition. Fantastic, detailed biographical narrative of Captain William Henry Irvine Shakespear, English civil servant and explorer who mapped uncharted areas of northern Arabia and made the first official British contact with Ibn Sa'ud, future king of Saudi Arabia. The report discusses his early life, character (he was a great linguist, mastering Urdu, Pushtu and Persian) his work for the British Foreign Office, vice consulship of India and transfer to Kuwait. From there, he made seven separate expeditions into the Arabian interior, during which he became a close friend of Ibn Sa'ud, then the Emir of The Nejd. In March, 1914, Shakespear began a 1,800 mile journey from Kuwait to Riyadh and from there to Aqaba, via the Nafud Desert, which he mapped and studied in great detail, the first European to do so. In November, 1914, the British government in India asked him to secure Ibn Sa'ud's support for the British-Indian Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, which had just taken Basra. Carruthers retraces these various routes, examining the latter's significant finds (including some inscribed stones discovered at the wells of Hinna and the rined site of Thaj) and devotes several pages to Shakespear's last journey of the title. In January, 1915, at the Battle of Jarrab, Shakespear's friend Ibn Sa'ud asked him to retreat to a place of safety before the fighting began. As an English Gentleman, he naturally declined to do so. He was struck by a bullet and killed. The victorious Rashidis cut off his head. His solar helmet was handed over to the Ottoman authorities and hung on one of the main gates of Medina as proof of the Al Sau'ds' collaboration with the British. It has been suggested by some authorities, notably St. John Philby, that the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire might have been very differently directed if Shakespear had survived, i.e. the British would have supported and armed Ibn Sa'ud rather than Sherif Hussein ibn Ali. Accompanied by wonderful photographs featuring the mobilization of Ibn Saud's camels, a portrait of Shakespear and of Shakespear riding out with the Emir, among others. Endlessly fascinating, impossible to put down - the stuff of pulp fiction spy novels.

Limited to 100 copies, [x], [28] pages, one of 9 signed copies, bound in hunter green cloth with gold blocking on front board, with a colour frontispiece of Richard F. Burton shortly after returning from India in the 1850's. This Bibliography examines and cites Burton's writings to various newspapers in India while he was stationed there in the 1840's. The author painstakingly examined Indian Newspapers from that time period and located over 100 articles written by Burton. Very little is known about Burton's formative years and his time in India, which makes this Bibliography very useful for the Burton Collector and scholar. A tremendous effort and welcome addition to the Burton genre.

L'ouvrage montre la reconfiguration inattendue de ces figures en écho à l'itinéraire de Mahomet
