A good companion piece to his brother's work on the same subject. Arthur Campbell Yate was on the same Afghan Boundary Commission which finally resolved the border disputes between Russia and Britain and ended the Great Game. The scarcer of the two works, and often lacking the 2 maps present here.

First edition; 8vo (23 x 15.5 cm); frontispiece, 4 plates, 2 folding maps (1 in rear pocket); publisher's original red cloth, gilt lettering to upper board and spine, touch of fading to spine, a fine copy; vi, [1], 481pp.
