About this Item
First edition. 8vo. Original green cloth, gilt. Uncommon. The author's journey took him from Constantinople, to Batumi, Baku, Krasnovodsk, Ashabad, Merv, Bokhara, Samarkand and back home via Odessa, utilising the Transcaspian Military Railway. "Until quite recently the very greatest difficulties were placed in the way of any foreigner who tried to penetrate the region. [and this book] is probably the last of a series that has dealt with Central Asia as a sort of terra incognita" (author's preface). Minor tanning to extremities of text-block; cloth a little darkened at spine with minor bumping, overall very good. Seller Inventory # 86290
