London, Longman, Hurst, [&c.], 1816

A classic Great Game book. Accompanied by Captain Christie, Pottinger went on an official exploration of the country between India and Persia in 1810. Heavily disguised as natives (their cover was blown immediately) and accompanied by a native horse-dealer, they travelled by sea to Sinde and overland to Khelat. When they reached the Afghanistan-Baluchistan border, Christie travelled north and Pottinger west. Christie was killed in a Russian attack on the Persians in 1812 in Isphahan. Pottinger meanwhile had returned to Bombay via Baghdad. This work contains the results of his journey.

First edition; 4to, xxx, 423 pp., hand-coloured aquatint frontispiece, large folding engraved map partially hand-coloured, occasional light foxing, offsetting to frontispiece, contemporary calf, large blindstamped arabesque to covers, sometime rebacked, a very good copy.

Wilson p.178; Ghani p.305; Diba p.224.
