First edition of Lord Warkworth's travel accounts of his journey through Anatolia. He is better known as Henry Algernon George Percy, Earl Percy (1871-1909), a British conservative politician, who held office as under-secretary of state for India and under-secretary of state for foreign affairs. He was the eldest son of Henry Percy, 7th Duke of Northumberland (1846-1918), but he never succeeded his father due to his early death in 1909. Earl Percy was also known as Lord Percy or - until 1899 - as Lord Warkworth; he wrote and published the present work under the latter name.Percy first visited parts of Anatolia, or Asia Minor, shortly after his election to Parliament in 1895, he returned in 1897 and wrote the present book on his return to England. In the present book he not only gives detailed descriptions of the places he visits while travelling - from Constantinople through northern Turkey to Mosul, Aleppo and on his return to the west - but also speaks out about the Armenian question (in favour of the Turks!: was he aware of the extent of the massacres in the years 1894-1896?) and an alliance between Britain and Turkey against the Russians. Percy's travel accounts are illustrated with reproductions of captivating photographs.From the collection of the Edward Pease Public Library in Darlington, UK. With an owner’s inscription on the half-title "Edward from Matt (or Watt?) Xmas 1898" and an inscription in pencil on the title-page "Northumberland (Duke of) Henry George Percy". Untrimmed, leaving generous margins but resulting in very slightly frayed edges. Otherwise in very good condition. A fascinating travel account from Anatolia. Green buckram with gold-blocked decorations on the front board and gold lettering on the spine, top edge gilt, black endpapers. With one large folding map of Turkey (ca. 55 x 24 cm), printed in black and red, and 32 plates with half-tone reproductions of photographs. Pages: XVI, 267, [1 blank] pp.…
