FIRST EDITION OF THIS ELUSIVE AND SIGNIFICANT WORK. Ainsworth's excellent account of the Euphrates expedition to which he was appointed surgeon and geologist. The expedition was intended to "examine the feasibility of opening up the Mesopotamian rivers to steam navigation as a new route to India as well as asserting British political presence in the area promoting British commercial ties and gathering scientific and archaeological data" ODNB.<br> This is arguably the fullest contemporary account of the expedition as the fraught publication history of Chesney's account meant that his 'NARRATIVE.London 1868 was ultimately less detailed than intended.<br> This copy was owned by John Brinton who was elected member of parliament for Kidderminster in 1880 but accepted the Chiltern Hundreds next month because he was holding a government contract at the time. He was reelected without opposition and held the seat until 1886. In 1887 he presented Brinton Park to Borough of Kidderminster.

Sir Austen Henry Layard (1817-1894) was one of the leading British archaeologists of the nineteenth century. He was not a professional archeologist, and he wore many hats in his public career - diplomat, politician, art connoisseur, and a man of letters. He entered the London legal profession in 1836 under the sponsorship of his wealthy uncle, Benjamin Austen. He remained there until 1839 when he set off, with his traveling companion Edward Mitford, on his first expedition to Nineveh and the region of Mesopotamia at Mosul. Over the next decade the British Museum unloaded hundreds of tons of sculpture and artifacts from Layard's excavations. His books won acclaim for their mix of high adventure and archeology embroiled in an intoxicating stew of compelling characters and sudden crises. He made the Assyrians accessible to common people and brought alive a shadowy Biblical civilization. HOLY LAND BOX 1
