Description

Folding Maps, Very Scarce

Initially published a decade prior in Calcutta, this edition has been expanded up to the year 1884 by Lieutenant A.H. Mason. Very scarce in all editions.

Illustrated with a folding map frontispiece, and twenty-eight further folding maps. Collated, complete.

This incredibly detailed and informative work offers an account of the expeditions undertaken against north-west frontier tribes following the annexation of the Punjab.

The work was prompted by the desire of the Punjab Government to create a record 'of the expeditions made from time to time against the frontier tribes, with such further information as might render the work a valuable guide to those who might have future dealings with these turbulent neighbours'.

With the blind stamp of the United Service Library to the head of the title page, and two library date stamps to the reverse of the frontispiece. No further library markings.

Divided into nineteen chapters, the work details numerous accounts of frontier expeditions against tribes, accompanying them with explanatory maps.

Condition

In a cloth binding. Two vertical ink marks to front board, with light tide mark to head of front board, and further tide mark running the length of the rear board. Tide mark to rear pastedown and free endpaper. Internally, firmly bound. Blind stamp to head of title page. Ink library stamps to reverse of frontispiece. Pages lightly age toned to perimeters, with the odd handling mark and light spot.
