This is a complete issue, seldom found in such good and original condition. Prince Sixte of Bourbon's knowledgeable analysis of potential trans-Sahara communications and the most feasible route into and across the Sahara: through North Africa - the Sudan route and what the prince describes as the natural basis for conquest of the south; in the west, the Mauretanian route which avails itself of the Saura valley and the old caravan route running along the Hank and, the route he favoured most, that of the Congo - the trans-African option he considered would serve the international interests of central Africa. Features a compelling narrative of the prince's 9,000 mile journey across the Eastern French Sahara, including details of the expedition personnel; of the motor cars (solidly built Delahayes) and the route: Tunis, southern Algeria, south of Tripoli, across the great Ténèré running from Bilma to Tripoli; Tibesti (peopled according to the Tuaregs with djinns and fairies; Wada to Fort Archambault in the Ubangi-Shari and a return to Lake Chad.

‎HAMILTON, Major A. B.‎

‎Six Weeks in Shabwa‎

‎Hamilton travelled to Shabwa, the "Hidden City of Arabia", as a Political Officer on duty; beginning his journey from Beihan in the winter of 1938, following the course of the Wadi Balharith, the continuation of Wadi Beihan, in the company with about two hundred and fifty of the Bal Harithand Karab tribe. He brought with him a copy of Philby's lecture and maps and his notes of his own journey dating from 1931. In this fascinating report he makes many remarks on Philby's report and findings, and gives a vivid description of the geographical features, the tribes, ruins as well as his excavation. Hamilton believed that the wall city of Shabwa was a cemetery, collection of mausolea and graves, and suggesting that the ruin area, which includes Jardan, Markjha and Beihan, was the southern collecting point for caravans from the south coast. 19 pages, including sketch map and black and white plates. 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.‎

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. Undertaken at the behest of the Anglo-Persian Oil Company, this expedition's objective was to study the geology of Bakhtiari country, an area believed to possess oil located in south-western Persia, between the Diz or Sehzar River on the north-west and the Karun River on the south-east - home to the semi-nomadic Bakhtiari tribes. Of particular geological interest are Harrison's depictions of the region's narrow valleys or tangs, his discussion of imbrics and tectonics and the expedition's arduous trekking itself: via Zeloi; the whale-backed mountain range, Kuh-i-Pabda; Chulbar on the north-eastern base of Kuh-i-Pabda; the Gapi basin; following a branch of the river Ab-i-Balut; Silili; Baznui; the country around Qal'eh Kuh and Ushtarinan Kuh; Qal'eh Pachah; Niyakan and Kuh-i-Dalan and numerous other locations. Accompanied by interesting photographs of the area's mountains and a large folding map of the territory covered.‎

‎HAY, Sir Robert‎

‎The Persian Gulf States and their Boundaries - 12‎

‎Author: Sir Rupert Hay Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1954. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: As former Political Resident in the Persian Gulf until 1953, Hay's purpose with this report was "to give a brief geographical description of the ten Shaikdoms and Muscat, bringing to light "the problems to which their boundaries give rise." Having had worked numerous years as a British political officer charged with establishing and maintaining British rule, Hay was very knowledgeable of the region and inhabitants, as well as its political history, especially in relation to Great Britain. He begins by describing Kuwait, "before the advent of oil... existing on pearling, fishing, shipbuilding...but now one of the richest..." A thorough description of Kuwait concludes with remarks of the section disputed by leaders of Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the Trucial Coast Shaikdom of Abu Dhabi. Trucial Oman and its "extraordinarily complicated borders" is the next subject of Hay's attention, Abu Dhabi being "the most westerly and by far the largest of the Shaikhdoms." He provides fascinating visual imagery of this region, "... Dibai...flourishes on its entrepôt trade and its suqs or markets on either side of its broad creek are the most picturesque... in the Middle East... takes one back to the time of the Arabian Nights... narrow lanes roofed with matting... Arabs, Persians and Baluchis display their multi-coloured wares. Wild-eyed tribesmen with their camel-canes and daggers haggle with the shopkeepers... wealthier Persian merchants with their long flowing robes and gold-brocaded headdresses pass to and fro... Graceful dhows glide into the creek... ...there is an air of bustle and prosperity... a peculiar charm." Boundaries, territorial disputes, claims of the Sultan of Muscat and Oman, the positive and problematic impact of the proliferate oil companies, are all examined before reiterating, in conclusion, the imperative need for clear delineation of boundaries in the highly coveted oil-rich Persian Gulf. 8vo. 13 pages including a full page sketch map. 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. [From 1763 until 1971, the British Empire maintained varying degrees of political control over some of the Persian Gulf states, including the United Arab Emirates (originally called the Trucial States) and at various times Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, and Qatar through the British Residency of the Persian Gulf.] Sir William Rupert Hay KCMG KCIE CSI (1893-1962) was a British Indian Army officer and administrator in British India. He served as Chief Commissioner of Balochistan during the colonial era. During World War I he was in Mesopotamia with the Dorsetshire Regiment, transferring to the Indian Army, attached to the 24th Punjabis, being appointed Quarter-Master 30th October 1916, and promoted to Lieutenant in 1918. Hay was seconded to the Foreign and Political Department in May 1920 and was confirmed in his appointment in May 1924. He was Political Agent in South Waziristan from 1924 to 1928, Assistant Commissioner in Mardan 1928 to 1931, and Political Agent in Malakand 1931 to 1933. He was Resident in Waziristan 1940 to 1941, Resident in the Persian Gulf 1941 to 1942, Revenue and Judicial Commissioner in Balochistan 1942 to 1943, and Agent to the Governor-General, Resident and Chief Commissioner in Balochistan 1943 to 1946. He was again Political Resident in the Persian Gulf from 1946 to 1953, then retiring from the service and returning to England. [St. Anthony's College, Oxford holds a collection of Hay's papers and diaries.] The Trucial States of the Coast of Oman, also known as Trucial Oman and Trucial Sheikhdoms, were a group of sheikhdoms in the south-eastern Persian Gulf, previously known to the British as the 'Pirate Coast', which were signatories to treaties (hence 'trucial') with the British government. These treaties established an informal protectorate by Great Britain, and the sheikhdoms, or emirates, were a British protectorate from 1820 until 2 December 1971, when the seven principal trucial sheikhdoms became independent. Six (Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Qawain and Fujairah) were to form the United Arab Emirates on that day; the seventh "Ras Al Khaimah" joined the Federation on 10 February 1972. The last sheikhdom to be granted recognition was that of Fujairah, which became a trucial state in 1952 after the British government came under pressure from PCL (Petroleum Concessions Limited) to grant status in order that the company could have a free hand to explore for oil along the whole east coast. Also in 1952, the Trucial States Council was established to encourage co-operation between the seven Rulers.‎

‎Pre-Ghal in Waziristan.‎

‎20 pages, including two in-text sketch maps. Plus many photographic plates. 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. This is a fascinating account on the political state of India's 'Mashud country', a region to the west of Dera Ismail Khan on the North-West Frontier of India, at a time when there was bitter hostility and serious fighting between the Wazirs and Mahsuds over their boundaries, particularily in the vincinity of Razmak. Captain Hay was in charge of the South Waziristan Agency for 3-4 years, and describes the intricacies of relationships between the feuding tribes, as well as their custom and history. Hay visited many places not previously seen by Europeans and on this journey he and several hundred natives, climbed the region's highest peak in the Preghal range. Includes remarks on Hindu legend surrounding the mountain, miracles and superstition reported by tribesmen, a list of plants identified, and Pashtu geographical vocabulary. South Waziristan is a mountainous region of northwest Pakistan, comprising the area west and southwest of Peshawar between the Tochi River to the north and the Gomal river to the south. The region was an independent tribal territory from 1893, remaining outside of British-ruled empire and Afghanistan. Tribal raiding into British-ruled territory was a constant problem for the British, requiring frequent punitive expeditions between 1860 and 1945. The region became part of Pakistan in 1947.‎
