Fourth edition (first published London, 1845), complete with the frontispiece (earlier editions contained either 8 plates and the frontispiece or four portraits). 8vo. xxvii, 515 pp. Frontispiece portrait of the author. Col. Charles Stoddart and Capt. Arthur Connolly were executed as British spies by the Emir of Bokhara in 1842. Blackmer sale 1109 (for the New York, 1845 edition): "Wolff brought the first authentic account of the fate of the two officers to England having been commissioned to do so by a committee headed by Captain John Grover: they had been beheaded. Their executioner had been instructed to dispose of Wolff in the same way but he escaped after a series of remarkable adventures. A Jew who converted to Christianity, he spent much of his life attempting to persuade other Jews to follow the same course. His travels were often beset by extraordinary difficulties but his enthusiasm and vitality enabled him to endure, after rescue from slavery in Khorassan, a walk of six hundred miles through Bokhara to Kabul having been robbed of everything including his clothing." Large travel-themed bookplate of Andrew Morrison on the front pastedown. Very good. 20th-century red three-quarter morocco and marbled boards, gilt title on spine, floral endpapers. (#6325).

First edition; 8vo; some light marginal toning and dust-soiling, very occasional light spotting; publisher's quarter calf over blue cloth, heavy loss to spine, boards detached but present, extremities rather rubbed, dark top edge, others speckled blue; a fair copy. Joseph Wolff (1795-1862) was a Messianic Jewish missionary born in Weilersbach, Germany. His father David was a Rabbi. Joseph left home at 11 and travelled for six years, eventually converting to Catholicism and later training as a missionary at the seminary of the Collegio Romano in Rome. Later in life he became a member of the Church of England. Wolff travelled widely during his lifetime and was known as 'the missionary to the world'. He published several journals of his expeditions, the best known of which is offered here.

Joseph Wolff was a British missionary who converted from Judaism to Christianity. He travelled between 1821 and 1826 to Egypt, Sinai, Palestine, and Aleppo. In 1828 he began another journey visiting Egypt, Palestine, Turkey, Armenia, Khurassan, Bokhara and Kabul. He describes the countries he travelled into giving new information about the Moslems of Central Asia. Wolf continued his journey from Afghanistan into India, Egypt and Malta back to England. In 1839 Stoddart had been sent to Bokhara to negotiate a treaty against a background of Anglo-Russian rivalry in Central Asia. In 1841 Connolly tried to join Stoddart, who had apparently been under confinement for some time. Both officers were beheaded, probably in 1842. This was what Wolff discovered who in 1843 he made a second journey to Bokhara to search for Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Stoddart. He escaped Bokhara after he knew that the Colonel was executed. In 1845 he published this work in two volumes in New York. In 1821 he began "his extraordinary nomadic career as a missionary to the Jews of the Near East and central Asia. Between 1821 and 1826 he travelled as a missionary in Egypt, the Sinai, the Holy Land, Syria, Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Crimea."
