Higgins Godfrey
An Apology For The Life And Character Of The Celebrated Prophet Of Arabia Called Mohamed Or The Illustrious
London: Rowland Hunter 1829. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine. Plates. Viii 108 Appendix 1 P. With Half Title And With Erratum On P Vi. Hand Correction Of Text On P. 99. Black Morocco Spine And Tips Gilt Over Ribbed Cloth. Light Yellow Endpapers No Names Or Marks. Near Fine Contents Immaculate And Crisp.This Volume With Small Engraved Plates Tipped In Apparently 18Th Century All With Similar Format And Apparently Extracted From Another Book Including Portraits Of 13 Turkish Rulers Also One Of Scanderbeg Referencing Vol. 1 P. 163 Of An Unidentified Work And Another Of Tamerlane Referencing Vol. 1 P. 138 Otherwise Plates Have Just Portrait Busts And Their Names Titles And Dates Of Accession. Godfrey Higgins 1772-1833 Was An English Magistrate And Landowner Who Was A Prominent Advocate For Social Reform. He Was Also A Keen Antiquarian. He Is Now Best Known For His Writings On Ancient Myths In Which He Asserts A Commonality Among Various Religious Myths Which He Traces Back To The Supposed Lost Religion Of Atlantis. He Has Been Called A "Political Radical Reforming County Magistrate And Idiosyncratic Historian Of Religions". Higgins' Work As A Magistrate Was Highlighted By Reformist Campaigns Within Which He "Courageously Exposed The Scandalous Treatment Of Pauper Lunatics And Campaigned For Parliamentary Reform Criticizing Excessive Taxation The Corn Laws And The Exploitation Of Children In Factories. In 1814 He Played A Leading Role In Uncovering The Abuse Of Patients At The York Lunatic Asylum After Rumors Of Serious Misconduct Had Come To His Attention. Higgins Was Appointed As A Governor Of The Asylum. In Anacalypsis Higgins Asserts A Commonality Among Various Religious Myths. "One Thing Is Clear-The Mythos Of The Hindus The Mythos Of The Jews And The Mythos Of The Greeks Are All At Bottom The Same; And What Are Called Their Early Histories Are Not Histories Of Humankind But Are Contrivances Under The Appearance Of Histories To Perpetuate Doctrines." Higgins Bluntly Declares That Every Ancient Author Without Exception Has Come To Us Through The Medium Of Christian Editors Who Have "Either From Roguery Or Folly Corrupted Them All.". "Osiris And His Bull Were Black; All The Gods And Goddesses Of Greece Were Black: At Least This Was The Case With Jupiter Bacchus Hercules Apollo Ammon.The Goddesses Venus Isis Hecati Diana Juno Metis Ceres Cybile Are Black. " . "There Seems To Be Nothing Improbable In These Ethiopians Being The Tribe Of The Jews-The Tribe Of Jacob Or Israel. I Think These Ethiopians Did Come Under Jacob And Did Settle In Goshen And Gave The Names Of Maturea And Avaris To The City In Which They Dwelt." ."Solomon Was A Personification Or Incarnation Of Wisdom And The Jews Of Asia Minor Were A Tribe Or Colony From India Of Black Buddhists At Or About The Same Time With The Ioudi To SyriaUnder The Brahmin."."Theseus Bacchus �sculapius &C. Were Saviours And Black Saviours Too. These Black Icons Were Made When Man Himself Was Black. He Made His God After Himself And Then Said That Man Was Made After The Image Of God. <br/> <br/> Rowland Hunter hardcover

Kennett Austin Sometime Administrative Officer in the Libyan Desert and in Sinai
Bedouin Justice Laws & Customs Among the Egyptian Bedouin
Cambridge England: Cambridge University Press. Very Good. 9251. 1st Edition; 1st Printing. Hardcover. B&W Illustrations; This book is in Very Good condition and is lacking a dust jacket. The book and its contents are in clean bright condition. The text pages are mostly clean and bright though there is some light toning and foxing beginning throughout. The endpapers have more noticeable toning. The front endpaper has a previous owner's inked name. "Written from the author's own experiences after spending more than seven years in the deserts of Egypt and Sinai it was intended to dispel the myths that had developed around Bedouin culture within western society. The text studiously avoids these forms of condemnation and sentimentalisation in focusing on particular examples of justice in practice thus revealing the subtle network of human relationships around which the culture was formed. It is written with an affection that reveals the author's genuine admiration for Bedouin traditions but does not shy away from revealing the problems within these traditions. This important book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Bedouin culture anthropology or law." . Cambridge University Press hardcover

MIDDLE EAST.
Life Line. Abadan Merchant Navy Magazine.
Abadan: Abadan War Charities Central Fund 1943. Square octavo 205 x 170 mm 54 pp. wire-stitched in original printed paper wrappers. With laid-in "Supplement to the Abadan Merchant Navy Magazine" 8 pp. unbound as issued. Ship motifs in bronze to panel versos line-drawings to the text. Photographic illustrations to the Supplement. Wrappers detached from text-block the staple oxidised corners bumped rear panel variably discoloured. First edition of this magazine published by employees of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company to raise money for the Merchant Navy in the midst of the Second World War. The phrasing of the "Editorial Epilogue" and the foreword of A. V. Alexander First Lord of the Admiralty suggest that this was a one-off venture to coincide with a "Merchant Navy Week" to be held in October 1943; we trace no copies of this or any further iterations in libraries or in commerce and no references in secondary literature. Abadan was the site of first APOC refinery completed in 1912 and as a key oil field and the pre-eminent Gulf entrepôt it was one of the first targets to be secured during the Anglo-Soviet invasion of Iran in 1941. A notice explains that "the Abadan War Charities Central Fund was inaugurated early in 1940 under the Chairmanship of His Britannic Majesty's Consul to co-ordinate and encourage voluntary efforts to raise money for war charities by the British and Indian staffs of the Anglo-Iranian Oil Co. Ltd. at Abadan Refinery Khorramshahr Ahwaz and Pipe Line Stations in Southern Persia and other British and Indian Communities in that area. Much generous support has also been given by the British and Allied Forces stationed in the vicinity and local Persian residents" p. 52. The fund projected to reach £50000 by the end of 1943 at the time of going to print was distributed between various causes with those in addition to Merchant Navy seamen and their dependants including "Welfare of Forces in Middle East" and "Welfare of Forces in Persia Iraq and Persian Gulf" though the largest sum £8000 was in fact earmarked for "Relief of Air Raid Distress" on the Home Front. Contributions include cartoons satirical verse a piece on "Wildfowl of the Shat-al-Arab River" "Concerning Oilwells" a brisk description of mishaps at sites including Masjid-i-Sulaiman Naft Khaneh and Haft Kel and "The Persian Gulf An Historical Sketch" which is based on the well-known book by Arnold Wilson. All pieces are signed anonymously pseudonymously or with initials with the exception of two short stories by Alec Waugh brother of Evelyn: "An Officer Learns a Lesson" and "A Happy Inspiration". An unusual and highly appealing survival. Abadan: Abadan War Charities Central Fund, unknown
