Original publisher's boards with blind-paneled green diaper-grain cloth boards lettered gilt on a spine in six blind-banded compartments with yellow endpapers and tissue guards for most plates.

Illustrated with twelve plates including six tinted lithographs, one of which is on India paper and mounted, a steel-engraved portrait of the author, and two folding plates, which are complemented by at least six in-text woodcuts, numerous tables, lists, ledgers, a poem, and graphs. 8vo. Binding: 9 x 6 inches. Paper: 8 3/4 x 5 1/2 inches. 28 oz. xii, 398, [2], 8 pp of ads. 12 plates.

"'Bokhara Burnes,' a relative of the Scottish poet Robert Burns, joined the East India Company as a teenager, and learned Hindustani and Persian while serving as an interpreter. He climbed the ladder in the Company and then in service of the British Army, eventually traveling through the Hindu Kush to modern-day Uzbekistan and Iran. He published a best-selling narrative of his journeys, 'Travels to Bokhara,' and was awarded a medal by the Royal Geographical Society. Burnes returned to India as a diplomat before precipitating colonial intrigue in Afghanistan as part of 'The Great Game,' where he was then assassinated prior to the first Anglo-Afghan War, but only after killing six assailants. 'Cabool,' a 'casual and informal account of life at Kabul,' in which Burnes gives 'geographical, agricultural, political, and linguistic information' that 'exceed usual interest' describes his second journey to Afghanistan from 1836-1838 and was posthumously published. [Wilber, Jones, Riddick]".
