Scarce. An account of the political and historical relations of British and Russian expansions in Central Asia, including the meeting of Empires along the north-west border of India and the conquests of Bokhara, Merv and Khiva.

Only some copies appear to have been issued with the small folding map in volume two. Yakushi does not call for it and the title suggests there should only be two maps rather than three.

First edition; 2 vols, 8vo (23 x 15 cm); lacking map to vol. II, 2 large folding colour maps bound to rear of vol I., each with fold tears repaired, bookplates to pastedowns, contemporary ownership inscription to front endpapers; original green blind-stamped cloth gilt, hinges professionally restored, a very good set; xvi, 348; vii, 426pp.

Yakushi B517.

Provenance

Provenance: Mikhail Baskhanov (bookplates); Alfred Fletcher Wickersley (inscriptions).
