Route of Lieutenant-General Sir Miles Nightingall, K.C.B.
overland from India. In a series of letters...
London, Baker, 1820
Hanson's book is dedicated admiringly to Lady Nightingall - Florentia Darell, daughter of Sir Lionel Darell, chairman of the East India Company - who underwent 'fatigues, privations, and even dangers 'with an admirable sangfroid and 'characteristic cheerfulness'. Decidedly uncommon - the subscribers' list accounts for only 145 copies.
First (only) edition. viii, [ii], 284pp., errata leaf at end, folding map, modern half calf gilt over old marbled boards, a very good example.
