THE RAREST OF ISABEL BURTON'S BOOKS. Very good condition. This book was in essence an account of Isabel and Richard's Tour of India in the late 1870's.

The original source documents for this book, now with the Isabel Burton papers at the Wiltshire Records Office are entirely in Richard Burton's handwriting.‎

‎BURTON, Richard F.‎

‎A Complete System of Bayonet Exercise‎

‎Authentic Facsimile Limited Edition of 750 copies produced by Pierway Publishing. This production mirrors the original in exacting detail. The book is almost completely hand made. It is printed on acid-free, vellum paper with maroon dutch comb endpapers, smyth-sewn in the traditional way and bound in morocco textured red gilt cloth. Book is in FINE Condition. This book is Richard F. Burton's rarest book and there are only 6 copies in Libraries worldwide. One copy showed up on Portobello Road in London a few years ago and another one in New England and both disappeared quickly in private collections. Elusive and rare, Burton supposedly was paid very little by the war office to acknowledge his authorship. The book never caught on in England but the Prussian Army bought most of the copies to train their troops as it was considered the best work on the use of the Bayonet at the time. It is rumored that a fire in the Prussian barracks destroyed most copies which would account for the book's rarity today.‎

‎Le Colonel Lawrence ou la recherche de l'absolu.‎

‎Albin Michel, 1955, in-8°, 411 pp, un portrait en frontispice, 4 cartes, biblio, broché, couv. illustrée, bon état‎

‎"Point n'est besoin de romancer la vie de Lawrence, car elle est plus près du roman que de la réalité. C'est un héros de Stendhal... (...) Dans un souci d'impartialité, je me suis efforcé, dans cet essai sur la vie de Lawrence, de m'appuyer surtout sur des documents puisés à des sources britanniques pour tantôt exalter, tantôt critiquer ce fascinant personnage. Des Anglais qui ont été témoins de sa vie ont bien voulu m'aider de leurs renseignements et de leurs conseils..." (Jean Béraud Villars, préface) — "Dans la galerie des grands hommes, Thomas Edward Lawrence – le Colonel Lawrence – est l'un des rares, peut-être le seul, à avoir été à la fois un chef de guerre et un artiste. Il y a de grands soldats écrivains, de Xénophon à Napoléon en passant par César, Joinville, Bernard Diaz et Montluc, mais aucun n'était ce que nous appelons un artiste avec ce que cela comporte de mystère, d'inspiration, de déséquilibre, de force, de faiblesse, d'impossibilité à s'adapter aux règles d'une société conventionnelle, en somme de monstruosité. L'Art et l'action guerrière semblent antinomique. Lawrence était génialement doué pour l'un et pour l'autre, d'où sans doute la courbe étrange de sa vie intérieure et celle, non moins exceptionnelle, de son destin. L'artiste c'est l'égocentrisme, le soldat c'est le sacrifice et l'oubli de soi. Deux philosophies aussi contraires existant chez le même homme ne peuvent qu'entraîner des porte-à-faux et des déchirements. Point n'est besoin de romancer la vie de Lawrence, car elle est plus près du roman que de la réalité. C'est un héros de Stendhal et il s'apparente de si près aux deux personnages les plus typiquement stendhaliens : Julien Sorel et Lucien Leuwen, que l'on a par moment l'impression d'un pastiche. Comme ses prédécesseurs de la fiction, il a l'esprit plein de réminiscences littéraires. Il construit sa vie à force de volonté sur un plan abstrait, il veut mener la vieille lutte de l'intelligence, du caractère, de l'égotisme, contre le conformisme. Son orgueil est immense et ses ambitions sans limite. Le naufrage de sa destinée ne lui fera faire aucun examen de conscience, ne lui laissera aucun doute sur lui-même, le plongera seulement dans un amer mépris des hommes et de la vie. Il est inhumain à force de rigueur, poursuit obstinément un absolu qui le fuit, son existence montre à la fois le triomphe et la faillite de l'intelligence pure, de la volonté tendue à l'excès. Il l'organise en mathématicien ; n'est-il pas un mandarin d'Oxford comme Julien était un fort en thèmes de séminaire, Lucien un demi-polytechnicien ? Lui aussi était obsédé par la pensée de Bonaparte. Toutes les réalités de cet étrange personnage sont plus captivantes que sa légende, mais il faut se hâter de le saisir, car ceux qui peuvent nous renseigner de façon directe sur son existence sont de moins en moins nombreux. La Guerre de 1914 n'est plus un événement contemporain. Elle bascule dans cet océan de légendes, de mensonge et d'indifférence qui s'appelle l'Histoire. Il eût été dangereux de laisser ce livre devenir une polémique anglo-française. Dans un souci d'impartialité, je me suis efforcé, dans cet essai sur la vie de Lawrence, de m'appuyer surtout sur des documents puisés à des sources britanniques pour tantôt exalter, tantôt critiquer ce fascinant personnage. Des Anglais qui ont été témoins de sa vie ont bien voulu m'aider de leurs renseignements et de leurs conseils. Je désire ici leur exprimer mon amitié et ma reconnaissance en insistant toutefois sur le fait que j'ai gardé mon entière liberté d'appréciation et d'expression et qu'ils n'ont aucune responsabilité dans les jugements que j'ai portés sur les événements et les hommes."

‎Shorawak Valley and the Toba Plateau, Afghanistan.‎

‎6 pages of the account. Plus a fold-out colour map, measuring approximately 13 x 14 inches (33 x 36cm). Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. An interesting travel account of Campbell's visit to the remote district of Shoarawak Valley, previously unknown to the Europeans, situated in the southeastern part of Kandahar Province, Afghanistan. Inhabited by mixture of Barechi Pathans and Brahuis, who possessed large flocks of camels, goats and sheep, the valley is almost destitute of trees. On May 1879, Major Campbell and his party, also visited the Toba table for the purpose of surveying the plateau located at the north eastern extremity of the Khwaja Amran range of mountains. This table land is divided into two portions called Toba and Tabin, according to the Campbell, the western part of Toba and Tabin belonged to the Atchazai Pathans and the eastern portion of Toba was the property of the Kakar tribes. However, frequent quarrels between these tribes over the territory have always caused the death of several men each year. Also included is a beautiful fold-out color map of "The Country Between Sind and Candahar", by W. J. Turner, showing the constructed and proposed railway. Shorawak valley is a narrow strip of flat country lying between the desert on the west and north west and a range generally known as the Sarlat Hills to the east. Its total length is about 40 miles with a width of 10 miles at the northern end and it is 3,250 feet above the sea. The head of the valley to the north is closed in by the southern spurs of the Khwaja Amran range of mountains which nearly join tie north-western spurs of the Sarlat Hills, only leaving a gap of about a mile through which the Lora river runs into the valley. The desert which stretches away westward as far as the Persian frontier rolls up in the form of sand hills to the edge of the cultivated land of the valley. The Lora river which waters the valley runs nearly dry in summer and its water is always brackish. The name of the valley drives from the Persian words, Shor brackish and Abak, meaning the scarcity of water. Major Campbell suggested that Shorawak was once a lake which was gradually silted up by deposits from the Lora and this seems to account for most of the phenomena. The river after flowing through the valley is swallowed up in the sand of the desert.‎

‎Captain Shakespear's Last Journey.‎

‎8vo. 15 pages, plus black and white plates, 2 of which are double sided fold-out panoramas; and an extra large fold-out color map measuring 24 x 38 inches (61 x 97cm). This issue contains the fabulous map, the plates, and the first part of the narrative in original condition. The second part of the narrative was issued a month later. Original condition with blue wrappers, titles to front, and containing all the ads. This is a complete monthly issue of the Geographical Journal, containing the above described narrative and other accounts as well. Seldom found in such good and original condition. Fantastic, detailed biographical narrative of Captain William Henry Irvine Shakespear, English civil servant and explorer who mapped uncharted areas of northern Arabia and made the first official British contact with Ibn Sa'ud, future king of Saudi Arabia. The report discusses his early life, character (he was a great linguist, mastering Urdu, Pushtu and Persian) his work for the British Foreign Office, vice consulship of India and transfer to Kuwait. From there, he made seven separate expeditions into the Arabian interior, during which he became a close friend of Ibn Sa'ud, then the Emir of The Nejd. In March, 1914, Shakespear began a 1,800 mile journey from Kuwait to Riyadh and from there to Aqaba, via the Nafud Desert, which he mapped and studied in great detail, the first European to do so. In November, 1914, the British government in India asked him to secure Ibn Sa'ud's support for the British-Indian Mesopotamian Expeditionary Force, which had just taken Basra. Carruthers retraces these various routes, examining the latter's significant finds (including some inscribed stones discovered at the wells of Hinna and the rined site of Thaj) and devotes several pages to Shakespear's last journey of the title. In January, 1915, at the Battle of Jarrab, Shakespear's friend Ibn Sa'ud asked him to retreat to a place of safety before the fighting began. As an English Gentleman, he naturally declined to do so. He was struck by a bullet and killed. The victorious Rashidis cut off his head. His solar helmet was handed over to the Ottoman authorities and hung on one of the main gates of Medina as proof of the Al Sau'ds' collaboration with the British. It has been suggested by some authorities, notably St. John Philby, that the Arab Revolt against the Ottoman Empire might have been very differently directed if Shakespear had survived, i.e. the British would have supported and armed Ibn Sa'ud rather than Sherif Hussein ibn Ali. Accompanied by wonderful photographs featuring the mobilization of Ibn Saud's camels, a portrait of Shakespear and of Shakespear riding out with the Emir, among others. Endlessly fascinating, impossible to put down - the stuff of pulp fiction spy novels.‎

‎CASARI, Burke E. - BURTON, Richard F. - SIGNED BY Burke Casari‎

‎A Bibliography of Contributions to Select Indian Newspapers‎

‎Limited to 100 copies, [x], [28] pages, one of 9 signed copies, bound in hunter green cloth with gold blocking on front board, with a colour frontispiece of Richard F. Burton shortly after returning from India in the 1850's. This Bibliography examines and cites Burton's writings to various newspapers in India while he was stationed there in the 1840's. The author painstakingly examined Indian Newspapers from that time period and located over 100 articles written by Burton. Very little is known about Burton's formative years and his time in India, which makes this Bibliography very useful for the Burton Collector and scholar. A tremendous effort and welcome addition to the Burton genre.‎
