20 pages, including two in-text sketch maps. Plus many photographic plates. 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 fascinating account on the political state of India's 'Mashud country', a region to the west of Dera Ismail Khan on the North-West Frontier of India, at a time when there was bitter hostility and serious fighting between the Wazirs and Mahsuds over their boundaries, particularily in the vincinity of Razmak. Captain Hay was in charge of the South Waziristan Agency for 3-4 years, and describes the intricacies of relationships between the feuding tribes, as well as their custom and history. Hay visited many places not previously seen by Europeans and on this journey he and several hundred natives, climbed the region's highest peak in the Preghal range. Includes remarks on Hindu legend surrounding the mountain, miracles and superstition reported by tribesmen, a list of plants identified, and Pashtu geographical vocabulary. South Waziristan is a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, comprising the area west and southwest of Peshawar between the Tochi River to the north and the Gomal river to the south. The region was an independent tribal territory from 1893, remaining outside of British-ruled empire and Afghanistan. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British, requiring frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of Pakistan in 1947.

8vo. 4 pages. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, containing other accounts as well, seldom found in such good and original condition. A favourable review of Philby's autobiography titled "Arabian Days" which was published earlier in the year and was so immediately popular that it was into a second printing, Cheesman deems the work to be a "fair self-portrait" which provides "a complete knowledge of the man." The summary of Philby's childhood, early civil service, and fortuitous connections, so clearly led him "into the desert" to fulfill his personal, spiritual and professional destinies.

1780144401780. IRWIN Eyles. A Series of Adventures in the Course of a Voyage up the Red Sea on the Coast of Arabia and Egypt; and of a Route through the Deserts of Thebais Hitherto Unknown to the European Traveller in the year MDCCLXXVII in Letters to a Lady. Dublin: Sleater Whitestone Potts Colles Wilson Jenkins Flin Etc. 1780. 4to 576 pp. With the original attached fold-out map of The Red Sea wants 2 other maps. Antique full leather binding with gold inlay on the spine. <br /> <br /> First edition of Eyles Irwin's exciting personal account and observations in Arabia and Egypt in the 18th century. Irwin was born in Calcutta and served with the East India Company. Irwin was dismissed from the East India Company in 1776 and traveled through Arabia and Egypt on his return to England to seek redress. He left India in 1777 for England when his ship was captured by pirates. From Cossier he was forced to cross the desert to Suez and then on to Luxor Cairo and Alexandria. His journey lasted eleven months. Irwin's narrative is comprised of letters to an unnamed "Lady" which provides the reader with candid observations of the convergence of European and Arab cultures in the late 1700's. The letters detail the journey to various ports cities and deserts of modern day Saudi Arabia. This book was published in 1780 a time when European exploration and travel was at its peak. The Arab world during the 1700's was considered mysterious enchanting and exotic thus attracting European travelers like Irwin. Tidrick remarks that Irwin's "travel narrative of 1780 was a long recitation of Bedouin treachery." Includes two poems by Irwin 'Ode to the dessert' and 'Ode to the Nile.' The title panel on the spine remains the reverse board was detached and has been sewn back on with dark thread. There is a 3 1/2" split on the front hinge although the hinge is still strong. Corners bumped and worn with the top and base of the spine worn with some chipping. The inside pages are very good. Overall in good condition. Blackmer Collection 865; Atabey Collection 609. unknown
