Hopkins, Lionel Charles, translator
First edition 8vo, pp. [ii], xx, 61; Chinese characters in the text. A very good copy in original cloth. Slightly rubbed, pages slightly foxed. Signed presentation inscription from the author to S.W. Bushell. The author of the Lin Shu Ku (The History of the Six Writings) was "Tai T'ung of the city of Yung Chia in the modern province of Chekkiang". Living in the 13th Century, towards the end of the Sung dynasty, he gained high literary honours, and was appointed prefect of T'ai Chou Fu in the same province. The Lin Shu Ku is often cited as an authority on Chinese written language and the logic behind the characters as an attempt to "make speech visible", discussing the history of the creation of the characters as much as their contemporary use. Lionel Charles Hopkins, (18541952) was a British Sinologist who became infamous when parts of the collection of oracle bones that he donated to Cambridge University with much fanfare, were discovered to be forgeries. He served in the British consulate in China from 1874 to 1910, rising to Consul-General of the Provinces Chihli and Shanxi in 1902. Stephen Wootton Bushell (1844-1908) went to Beijing in 1868 to take up a post as physician to the British Legation. He remained for thirty-two years, learnt fluent Chinese, made important contributions to the study of the extinct Tangut, Khitan, Jurchen and 'Phags-pa scripts, and is best remembered as a collector of, and an authority on, Chinese art.

Ferrier, Joseph-Pierre
Second edition pp.xxii, 534, 3 plates, folding map; First edition, pp.xxi, 491, 2 engraved maps, 1 folding. A near fine pair in contemporary full calf, gilt decoration to spine and boards, red morocco lettering piece, gilt and blind rolls to board edges and turn-ins, end-papers and all page edges marbled. Very slight rubbing to boards, light spotting to first couple of leaves in each volume. Both with an inscription to "Lea Priestley Edwards. On his leaving Eton Xmas 1864", the first signed by Charles G. A. Brayhem, the second by George W. Swiming A fabulous pair of important works that combine as the life's work of Josephe-Pierre Ferrier (1811-1886) in matching lavish Eton presentation bindings. The first work, Caravan Journeys, is a gripping account of the travels of the author in Central Asia, in particular across Afghanistan. Punctuated with pithy commentary with a rare anti-British sentiment, it provides an outside perspective on Britain's activities in Asia and Ferrier shows particular affinity for the rich history and tradition of the peoples he encountered. The second work, History of the Afghans, chronicles the history of the Afghans from their "origins", around 200 BCE, to around 1850. It is particularly important as it recounts the history of British involvement in the region from a French perspective, and concludes with the author admitting the great influence Britain exerted over the region by 1850. The work is full of personal and anecdotal evidence, particularly towards the later stages, because Ferrier either experienced or was in direct contact with much of what happened in Afghanistan during his lifetime. He includes Persian and Indian documents, with their translations, that were his initial source of news for events he did not witness. Josephe-Pierre Ferrier (1811-1886) was a French soldier whose innate talents and skills never translated to the career success that he warranted. He served in Persia, 1839-43, and then sought employment with the Sikh government in Lahore. He attempted the overland route through Afghanistan during the extremely difficult conditions of the first Anglo-Afghan war (1838-42). He spent a year in Afghanistan, including a period in captivity, before being forced to go back to Tehran. All the while he was pestering his superiors for money in return for vague and intangible returns. These present works were both written after he was financially ruined by a failed agricultural scheme in Rhodes, and was salvaged by the rear-admiral Verninac de Saint-Maur, delegate for the French settlements in India, who managed to obtain for him the position of Mayor at Pondicherry in 1853, where he stayed until 1876, at which point he retired to Marseille. It is interesting that these works were first published in English for a British audience: Caravan Journeys was only published in French in 1870 and History of the Afghans never was.
Blondel, Antoine Lucien; Randon, Jacques Louis César Alexandre
First edition, 4to, pp. [ii, titles], 202, tables. A very good copy in contemporary quarter calf, re-backed with original gilt spine laid down, marbled boards, end-papers and page edges, green bookmark ribbon. A rare account of the Anglo-French expedition in the later stages of the Second Opium War that resulted in the Third Battle of Taku Forts and which opened the river routes up to Peking, and led China to cede 22 forts as far as Tianjin. It also records the inclusion of Chinese labourers on the side of the French. Antoine Lucien Blondel (1801-1883) was a military geographer who rose, in 1851, to be head of the Dépôt de la Guerre, where he remained until 1867. His experience means this present work is particularly topographically detailed and interesting. Jacques Louis César Alexandre Randon (1795-1871) joined the French army at just 16, and rose to become Minister of War from 1859 to 1867. As one of his first actions he oversaw the offensives in China. The accompanying Atlas published in the same year as this is not present. Copac claims only British Library and King's College London have copies
Monteith, William
First edition, pp.40. A good but slightly soiled copy bound in modern quarter calf, marbled boards. Some minor paper repairs. "The following Notes on Georgia and the New Russian Conquests beyond the Caucasus were collected by me when charged with the delineation of the Frontier between Persia and Russia, they were solely intended for my own use but having been often solicited for Copies I have thought it more convenient to get a few printed for distribution among those who had expressed a wish to have them". William Monteith (1790-1864) accompanied Malcolm's embassy to Persia in 1810, served as secretary to Morier, and was present at the Persian headquarters during the Russo-Persian War, 18261828. After the Treaty of Turkmenchay was signed in 1828, Monteith was appointed commissioner for the payment of the indemnity exacted from Persia by Russia, part of which was conveyed by him personally into the Russian camp. He was ordered to remain in Persia until the settlement of the Russo-Persian boundary. He returned to India in July 1832 where he was appointed chief engineer at Madras. This scarce pamphlet which bears no information on date or place of printing appears to have been printed in Madras. The second part is headed: Description of the frontier of Russia and Persia as settled by the Commissioners in the years 1828 and 1829. Four copies in COPAC, Oxford, NLS, London Library, and Birmingham
[Turkey]
First edition, 16mo, pp. [vi], 314, [5, index]; engraved title page. Latin text. A very good copy in full vellum, page edges blue, ink title to spine. One small chip to spine, corners bumped, clean internally. Previous ownership inscription dated 1830. A collection of excerpts and treatises on the Ottoman Empire, published during a period of revitalised interest in the near east and the Turkish region. A focus on the city of Constantinople and the culture within the Ottoman capital sets this apart from the much more popular histories of the Empire. Various renowned authors are included, including Busbecq, Soranzo, and Orazio Malaguzzi. Blackmer 1685
Lucas, Paul
Third edition, two volumes, 12mo, pp.[xx], 436, [7, contents]; [ii, title], 345, [4, contents], [23, adverts.]; 2 folding maps, 32 plates, 19 of which folding. A very good copy in contemporary vellum, red speckled edges, lettering direct to spine. Vellum has a few stains to boards but otherwise binding tight and strong. Internally clean apart from small note to front end-papers of volume 1. Both maps have small 1cm tears to margins. Paul Lucas (1664-1737) was a French merchant, antiquarian, and traveller. He came to the attention of Louis XIV after returning in 1696, from serving in the Venetian army, with armfuls of looted antiquities. The king bought many for his personal collection, and sent Lucas on three voyages to the middle east to find him more. In this, his third and last between 1714 and 1717, he travelled through Turkey and Palestine to Egypt. He spent most of his time exploring Egypt and attempting to discover new sites ripe for archaeology and valuable artefacts. This edition, published a year after the first, was probably pirated like many others out of Amsterdam. Many of the plates richly depict architecture including the pyramids of Egypt as well as reproducing numerous Egyptian statues and hieroglyphs.

Campbell, Donald
First edition, three parts and appendix, 4to, pp.xvii, [1, errata], [2], 176, 138, 181, [1, blank], 9, [1, blank]. A very good copy bound in contemporary half calf, marbled boards, gilt panelling and lettering to spine. Spine lightly rubbed with top of spine neatly repaired, joints firm, boards slightly rubbed and corners bumped. Edges of pages foxed but internally clean and unblemished. Armorial bookplate of L.A. Burd. A description of the travels of Donald Campbell (1751-1804) through Europe, the Middle East, and Asia, presented as letters to his young son Frederick Campbell (1782-1846), and written more than a decade after his misadventures. The first section describes Campbell's much-delayed travels through Europe, which eventually led him to Venice, and by ship to Alexandria. Diverted from Alexandria and Egypt by pestilence, he sailed to Cyprus, whose excellent wine he remarks on. At Cyprus, he secured letters of introduction for Latakia, and from there, he travelled across Syria, spending some time at Aleppo, and on into Kurdistan and Iraq, accompanied for much of the journey by a Tatar courier. Campbell's account of Syria and Iraq is particularly rich; at Aleppo, he frequents the coffee houses, describing the Arab storytellers with their shadow puppets, recounting raunchy satires from the 1001 Nights. He hears tales of the Yezidis, and the many kinds of dervishes, during his ride across Iraq; at Baghdad, his Armenian host compares an Arabic manuscript of tales from the 1001 Nights to a printed French translation, on hearing of Campbell's fanciful idea of the city, based on the European "translations" then in circulation. From Baghad he went on to Basra, and then Bombay, by way of Bushire. After many diversions he was shipwrecked on the Indian coast and seized by the troops of Hyder Ali amidst the tumult of the Second Anglo-Mysore War. Campbell describes in detail the court of Mysore, and the misfortunes of his fellow prisoners, but good fortune sees him employed as a messenger for Hyder Ali conveying terms to the British forces and the letters end with Campbell's safe release from forced service. These letters were written with the benefit of more than a decade's subsequent experience, and are structured to provide salutary moral tales for their young reader. But Campbell is pragmatic in the lessons he offers, and, though a great believer in the supremacy of British government, is remarkably even-handed in his description of those he encounters, from Turkish officers, to qadis, and even Hyder Ali himself, whose qualities he details. This book proved enormously popular, published as it was shortly before the Third Anglo-Mysore War, and passed into a sixth edition by 1808, together with abridged versions and even a chapbook based on Campbell's experiences in Mysore.
Dorn, Bernhard.
First edition. One volume, folio (32 x 25.5 cm); pp.[ii, subscriber's leaf], [iv], viii, 131, [1]. A very good copy in original cloth, remnants of paper label to spine. Spine slightly faded with small tears to head and foot, corners bumped. Mild foxing to preliminaries. With the printed subscriber's leaf of Sir Gore Ouseley. Ni'mat Allah al-Harawi, anglicised as Neamat Ullah, was historiographer at the Court of Jehangir 1609-11. His work, Makhzan-i Afghani, is the earliest known history of the Afghans from their beginnings to the sixteenth century. Dorn's translation was from a manuscript copied in 1718 belonging to the Royal Asiatic Society. This work is as much origin myth as it is factual history. The Makhzan traces the Pashtuns' origins from Abraham down to a king named King Talut (Saul), that is agreed by Muslim and Hebrew sources to be the same King Saul in Palestine around 1092 B.C.E., but after that date has little corroboration. According to Ni'mat Allah, Qais was the ancestor of most of the existing Pashtun tribes. He met Muhammad and embraced Islam. The book plays a large part in various theories that the Pashtun people are descended from the Israelites, as one of the Ten Lost Tribes. The book also covers Pashtun rulers in Bengal, contemporary events, and Pashtun hagiography. The first part, issued in 1829 and not present here, contains the translation in full; the second part includes a Pushtoo Grammar and Vocabulary as well as notes on the Afghans from other sources. This second part, and its extensive annotations, benefit greatly from a second manuscript copy lent to Dorn from the private collection of a Dr Lee; in Dorn's words "it served to elucidate almost all the passages that had previously been obscure". Johannes Albrecht Bernhard Dorn (1805-1881), was a German who specialised in the history and language of Iran, Russia, and Afghanistan. He was a professor at Kharkov from 1829 until 1835 when he moved to teach at St. Petersburg. He taught oriental languages including Sanskrit, history and geography of the Muslim east, and offered the first ever class in Pashtu in Europe. From 1842 he was also director of the Asiatic Museum and head of the oriental section of the Imperial public library. He was a pioneer of Iranian studies in his time, not just in publications but in collections and preservation of archaeological finds. He was also prolific in publications relating to the Pashtuns and Afghan tribal history, as well as the first systematic description of Pashto. Sir Gore Ouseley (1770-1844) was an eminent orientalist, perhaps best known for his service as British envoy to Persia, in which he earned the respect of both shah and czar; he served as vice-chairman of the Royal Asiatic Society and president of the Oriental Translation Committee.

Neamet Ullah; Dorn, Bernhard, translator
First edition, two volumes bound in one, folio, pp.xv, [1, errata], 184; viii, 131. A very good set bound in recent half calf, marbled boards. Light foxing to first few leaves.

Sanson, François; Pidou de Saint Olon, François
Second edition of first work, first edition of second. 12mo (16 x 10 cm), pp.[x], 264, [24, contents], frontispiece, 5 plates, 2 folding, and folding map, title printed in red and black; [xvi], 224, [10], frontispiece, 8 plates, and folding plan, title printed in red black. A very good copy bound in contemporary speckled calf, spine gilt in compartments. Edges somewhat rubbed, spine worn. Hinges cracked but firm, front free endpaper torn. Contents clean. Two late seventeenth-century French diplomatic accounts bound together, spanning the western and eastern Islamic world. The first work is by the French missionary François Sanson, who had joined Bishop Piquet of Baghdad at the Safavid court in 1683. After Piquet's death in 1685, Sanson remained to negotiate at court until 1692, when the shah issued a proclamation authorising Catholic missions at New Julfa and Hamadan. Sanson returned to France to present the shah's proclamation to Louis XIV at Versailles in 1693. This is his account of almost ten years in Persia during the waning years of Safavid rule. Court politics, dress, architecture, and commerce are all discussed. The second was written by the French diplomat François Pidou de Saint Olon, who was sent to negotiate a commercial treaty with Mulay Ismail, Sultan of Morocco, in 1693, following several earlier unsuccessful embassies. His mission too was unsuccessful prompting him to compile this account of Morocco, based on his brief time in the country and other published sources. The text includes a twenty-page account of his audiences at Mulay Ismail's court, and the text of the letter to Louis XIV which Pidou de Saint Olon brought back to France. The folding plan depicts the fortress by the port town of Larache, near Tangier.
Thomas, Edward
First edition. 8vo (23 x 15 cm), pp.viii, 137, [1] 56 [advertisements], mounted photographic frontispiece, folding plate, illustrations in text. A very good copy in original publisher's cloth. Spine faded. With the first publication of Henry Rawlinson's discovery of the Paikuli inscriptions: a survey of all known Middle Persian inscriptions in stone, seals, and coins, with much on the Hajiabad inscriptions, discovered near Persepolis by Robert Ker Porter in 1818 which remained untranslated until Hendrik Samuel Nyberg published his Swedish translation in 1945. Nyberg described this as "a very learned book", adding that its "readings, translations, and historical comments are best passed over in silence" but that it "is interesting and still of some use", identifying its value as a thorough summary of all previous exploration and research with "ample bibliographical references", and the first appearance in print of Rawlinson's description of Paikuli and its inscriptions, from copies he had given to Edward Thomas (Bulletin of the School of Oriental and African Studies, Vol. 23, No. 1 (1960), p.41). Edward Thomas (1813-1886) served as a Company officer in India from 1832 to 1857, and devoted the final decades of his life to numismatic and antiquarian study, publishing numerous essays and books on subjects ranging from Mughal revenues to early Indian weights.
Hakluyt, Richard
First and second volumes only (of three), bound together, folio, pp. [iii]-xxiv, 606; [xvi], 312, 204; title of vol. I lacking. A very good copy tightly rebound in modern half calf, marbled boards. Very slight rubbing to the bottom edges of boards. Pages 114-115 of vol.I and 6-7 of vol.II pt.2 misnumbered, but have correct text. A couple of wormholes to margins, with one through the margin of all the first volume, sometimes affecting side notes but not readability. Roughly 30 leaves are lightly frayed, and the first and last couple of leaves have are more frayed with some page loss but no text loss. A few internal tears to margins, only affecting text on pp.465-6 vol. I. Light tanning or staining to most pages usual to books this age. Occasional darker dirt stains have faded the text, and rarely spots obscure a few letters or part of a word. The present two volumes include much information on Asia, from the medieval travellers John of Plano Carpini and William of Rubruck in the thirteenth century and Odoric of Pordenone in the fourteenth, until the early 1590s. Especially notable is the 'Excellent description of the kingdome of China', which Hakluyt printed for the first time in English, translated from a Latin book published at Macao in 1590 captured (along with much treasure) by the English from a Portuguese carrack, the Madre de Dios, in 1592. Compiled in China by a Portuguese Jesuit, Duarte de Sande, this remarkable account used reports from Ricci and other Jesuits who had only recently penetrated China's isolation: never intended to circulate in England, it 'undoubtedly answered many questions regularly asked of those who related stories of missions or trading expeditions to the "Middle Kingdom" ' (Lach I.ii p. 810). This is the second, much expanded, edition of Hakluyt's celebrated collection of voyages. The first volume appeared in 1598 (although in some copies its title-page is redated 1599). The third volume, devoted principally to America, was published in 1600. An account of the raid on Cadiz by the earl of Essex was printed at the end of the first volume, but, because of its political sensitivity, these leaves (pp. 60719) were removed from many copies and are not present here; a handful of copies include a map. This edition is largely expanded, updated, and rewritten from the original version of Hakluyt's book that appeared as a single volume in 1589. Cordier BS 1939
McNair, Major J.F.A.
First edition, 8vo (23 x 16 cm), pp.xvi, 191, 23 plates, adverts. A very good copy in rather dull and lightly rubbed original cloth. Book plate professionally removed from front free end-paper. John Frederick Adolphus McNair (1828-1910) had a long and successful career as a key civil-servant in the service of the Straits Settlements until his retirement in 1884. McNair was appointed as Executive Engineer and Superintendent of Convicts in the Straits Settlements in 1857 and was also responsible for Public Works and the Oriental Gaol in Singapore until its abolition in 1873, before which he had been private secretary and aide-de-camp to the Governor of Straits Settlements. The work is of particular importance because consistent records of the prison at Singapore were not kept until 1844, and utilises numerous private letters and papers alongside McNair's considerable personal knowledge, in part due to his fluent Hindustani, from the establishment of the prison in 1825 up to 1844. In this work he was assisted by his Superintendent, W.D. Bayliss.
