8vo., Second Impression thus, with a frontispiece and folding map, small neat signature on half-title; original green cloth, gilt back, a very good, clean copy. Nice copy of the second impression of the first single-volume edition. Garnett's abridgement of Doughty's nineteenth century classic, first published in two volumes in 1908, brought the work to a new and appreciative audience (including T E Lawrence). Professor Bonney, Doughty's geological tutor, attributed to this publication the award by the RGS of the Founder's Gold Medal in 1912. The first single-volume edition appeared in 1926. Scarce.
