An account of Ussher's travels through Russian Dagestan at the time of the Shami uprising, and thence south to view the antiquities of Mesopotamia and Persia. This account follows the journey of the author who sets out to achieve his goal of penetrating the mountains of Dagestan, a success which was only possible through the hospitality of those whom he met along the way. An adventure taken solely for purposes of pleasure and amusement, only to be later published once it was suggested that these records of paths and encounters could prove useful to future travellers looking to venture to these 'comparatively untrodden countries' (preface).

First edition; 8vo; 18 chromolithographic plates, 12 advertisements at end (some faint finger-soiling, occasional spot confined to margins); original blue gilt pictorial cloth, uncut (spine very slightly faded, binding very lightly soiled, very lightly rubbed); a fine copy.

Bobins 1476 (this copy); Ghani 379; Wilson 233.
