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. Dealing specifically with the construction of a railway from Sukkur in today's Pakistan to Kandahar in Afghanistan, in the late 1870s during "The Great Game", Sir Temple gives an explicit account of the progress of construction, and of the geography, illustrating the region with sketches which were prepared on the spot by Lieutenant Goerge Temple of the British Navy. The immense undertaking is further illustrated with a striking colour fold-out map showing railways constructed and in operation, and other tracts proposed. Consisting of the important Bolan Pass railway, and the Sindh-Peshin railway where the Harnai line and the Quetta loop line meet, the tracks were forged through low range hills, an arid desert, the Pishinaleey of Pishin, and the Bolan Pass of the Toba Kakar Range in Balochistan - a pass which has always occupied an important place in the history of British campaigns in Afghanistan. Captain R. Beavan was Assistant-Superintendent of the Survey of India, and presents in his account a scientific assessment of the rivers, desert regions and valleys in Afghanistan, between Kandahar and Girishk, the latter being 75 miles northwest and originally built around a fort which was twice taken and abandoned by British forces.

The region explored by Sykes in northern Mesopotamia was then little-known and only partially explored, making this a highly important expedition, as some of the earliest cultures in the world and indeed the cradle of civilization itself was thought to have sprung from the depths of these historic lands. Featuring primarily Kurdish custom, he reveals the contemporary Wetsern perceptions of Arabs being 'savage' and Kurds as 'ruthless'. While chronicling his journey he also describes astounding and legendary sites such as Ain el Arus, concluding with the important objective of a proposed railway route from Ras-el-ain, following the Khabur south to Shedadeh, to Tell Afar, then along the Tigris.

This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. While in Tehran, Mr. Sykes planned to visit Luristan (Lorestan) and Bakhtiari provinces of Persia (Iran), but an order was given by a high authority of Reza Shah's Government, forbidding travellers to enter those two remote provinces, located in the West and South-West Iran (at the time Reza Shah was trying to diminish foreign influence in Iran), however, the opportunity presented itself through the Ambassador of Afghanistan to Persia, Sher Ahmad Khan, to make a journey to the less-known provinces of northern Afghanistan. In this fascinating account Mr. Sykes provides vivid and detailed description of his travel route, with mentions of every towns and villages, also illustrating his route on a full-page sketch map. He enters Afghanistan from Persia by the Kariz-Islam Kala road, he first reaches Bala Murghab, makes fascinating comments on the traditional dresses of Afghans, Turkomans, Usbegs, and Tajiks of this town, then he crosses Band-i-Turkistan on horseback entering Maimana, then Daulatabad, Andkhui, Akcha, and Balkh, he visits the magneficent ruins of Balkh, continuing his journey, he reaches Mazar-i-Sharif, Khanabad, and from there to Barfak by Kunduz pass, passing through a few other small towns and villages, he finally reaches his destination at Kabul. Also includes interesting remarks on the Turkomans and their camps; rich Usbeg herdsmen, Jewish merchants, lambskin markets, and interesting comparison between Afghan pronounciation and dialect to those of Persian. This is a truely fascinating travel account, accompanied by a full-page descriptive route sketch map and fabulous photographic plates depicting Mausoleum at Herat, Afghans putting out curred lambskins to dry on the roof on a caravanserai at Andkhui, Kebitka tent at a Turkoman encampment between Andkhui and Akcha, and the Kunduz ferry.

20 pages. Plus a fold-out colour map measuring approximately 13.25 x 11.5 inches (34 x 29cm). 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. This is a considerably detailed account of Colonel Stewart's journeys and excursions in Perso-Afghan frontier - from the Hari-rud to Sistan - and in the Herat valley, with engaging portrayal of the desert life, tribal raids and slavery, border conflicts and mutiny, ancient ruins, less-visited towns and villages as well as fascinating remarks on the travel routes of Marco Polo and Kanikoff, history of Mogul raids, massive cultivation and consumption of tobacco, poppy and opium - "Men, women, and children even, smoke opium to a terrible extent, and I was assured that hundreds of people died annually from the effects of opium" - fine quality Persian carpet, and construction of railway by the Russians. Accompanied by a magnificent fold out colour map, this captivating account beautifully describes the author's adventurous travels, in which he suffered from excruciating heat and thirst crossing the Lut dessert, taking a route closely to that of the Kanikoff. Arriving in Khaf shortly after Sardar Ayoub Khan being defeated by the Amir at Kandahar, the author proceeds to the ancient and historically important city of Zuzan, where the inhabitants including women and children, were slaughtered by the Moguls. After visiting the ruined fortifications, he passes through the Ahinguran range reaching the town of Birjand with only 14000 inhabitants, from there he proceeds towards the flourishing town of Khusf, marching to Khur and Balabund, visiting the small village of Naiband with only 400 inhabitants, who were continuously subjected to raids by marauding Baluchis. Here he points out the road travelled by Marco Polo from Karman (Kerman) to Kain. After staying 3 days in Naiband, he returns back to Birjand, from there he continues his journey to the Persian frontier opposite Lash-Jowain, visiting Duruh, Tabbas, Gazik, and Yazdun, then getting back to his headquarters at Khaf and returning to England. Shortly after, he starts another journey to the Perso-Afghan frontier, accompanying the Shah of Persia on his travel along the then newly demarcated frontier between Persia and Russia on the northern border of Khorasan, and from there the author proceeds to the village of Mohsinabad, about 80 miles from Herat. He stays there for approximately nine months, making a long adventurous excursion in 1883 across the Hari Rud into Badghis, trying to avoid the Turkoman raiding parties. During his stay from September 1883 to May 1884, some thirty persons were carried off into slavery by the Turkomans, among them a few were from the village of Mohsinabad. After this journey, Colonel Stewart was sent to Herat, along with two engineer officers, Major Holdich and Captain Peacocke, they marched to the village of Rozanak, Sahar Kiz, then reaching Herat. Colonel stewart makes a few excursions, including visiting the holy shrine of Gazar Gah containing the tomb of a Mohammedan saint named Abdul Ansari. He remarks on the construction of the railway by the Russians from the Caspian Sea via Askabad and Merv to Samarkand, and points out on the possibility of running railroads in Central Asia - which could be easily supplied by the high quantity of extracted Petroleum - continuing the Quetta line to Herat, and joining it to the Russian line.
