Descripción del artículo del vendedor

2 Volumes. 8vo. pp. xvii, [1 leaf] plate list, 313, [2]ads; 2 p.l., ii, [1 leaf]plate list, 341, [1]glossary, [2]ads. with half-titles. 19 wood-engraved plates (incl. frontis. & 2 folding) after original sketches of F.Kanitz & 2 maps (1 in colour & folding). A nice set in original gilt-stamped cloth. Second and Best Edition. An interesting account of southern Bulgaria, Serbia, northern Albania, and Montenegro in the 1860s, written chiefly by Miss Mackenzie, and first published in 1867. The authors sympathized with the Serbs and southern Slavs, particularly women, who lived in oppressive conditions under Ottoman rule. Irby raised money to establish a Christian school for girls at Sarajevo in 1870. This second edition was revised and enlarged by Ms. Irby to include three additional chapters on Bosnia and her experiences there from 1875 to 1877 during the Serbo-Turkish War. Irby tended to refugeesand orphans who were comingfrom Bosnia to Slavonia. She builtorphanages and settlements for the homeless, and provided medicinefor the ill and wounded civilians and soldiers. By 1879 twenty-one Christian schools had been established and the following year the Sarajevo school which had closed in 1875 was reopened. In Bosnia Irby was revered for her dedicated humanitarian and educational work. She was awarded the Order of Saint Sava and the Order of the Cross of Takovo. Fifteen thousand people are said to have gathered in Sarajevo and Belgrade to mourn her death in 1911. Irby left all her property to the Bosnian Society for Education. Weber 770. cfBlackmer 1051.…
