‎From the Yangtze to the Irrawaddy - 07‎

‎Title: From the Yangtze to the Irrawaddy. Author: F. Kingdon Ward Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Pre-Dates Book! Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: An important primary source account, and well-rounded preliminary reveal of a monumental journey which would become especially appreciated for its great contribution to Asiatic botanical science. Ward began his expedition in Yunnan and traverses the high mountain country inhabited by Tibetan tribes, from the plateau east of the Yangtze, to proceed down into the tropical regions of Northern Burma - finally completing a journey which he had envisioned in the past but had not been able to achieve until this time. As Ward recounts his journey, through his vivid descriptions of unique geography perfectly adorned with exotic flora, he virtually revives some exquisite locations of Burma which have since largely been devastated by protracted civil war. Naturally, he describes the most striking and unique of fauna and flora, including some especially magnificent rhododendrons. Glacial landscapes and the apparent deglaciation and decreasing precipitation in some little-known regions, are also brought to light. In terms of geography and hydrography Ward observes characteristics of the Mekong river, the dry limestone plateau east of the Yangtze to the rain-drenched igneous ranges beyond the Salween, the 'Tibetan Marches,' Yunglin, the Tzu, Nam Tamai, and the Yunnan plateau. Along the way, he notes the unique customs of the various tribal groups encountered, such as the Lisu, Kachin, Kiutzu and Nungs. Of British colonial interest, the Fort-Hertz at Putao, Hkamti Long, finds its place in these pages. [The fort was constructed by the British after the annexation of Myanmar, for the purpose of defending British interests in that area. During the British administration Mr. W.A. Hertz (CIS) was assigned as the first resident of Putao. Consequently, the Fort was named "Fort-Hertz" in his honour. This project was supported by the Royal Society, its aim being to record rapid changes in landscape, climate and botany in the exceptionally lush region, and also to collect rare and unusual plant specimens. Ward's course of travel was through Yunnan, Kinkiangkai, Yungning, Lijiang, Atuntze, through the Tibetan tribal areas, to Nonghkai in the Shan region, and eventually down to Myitkyina in Burma in 1923. In doing so he crossed both the Mekong and Yangtze rivers, and for the first time, crossed from Western China to the Irrawaddy in Burma. Ward imparted the full account of this expedition in a book titled, "From China to Hkamti Long," which was published in London in 1924. The book saw only one edition, making it exceedingly scarce today and highly collectible, being one of Ward's more important botanical works. So stated in the preface of his book, in 1922-1923 the highly respected plant hunter and explorer travelled "westward from the Yangtze, across the narrow strip of the earth's crust where the great rivers of South-east Asia escape from Tibet and through the jungles which hide the headwaters of the mighty Irrawaddy, Burma's great river..." The preliminary account presented here precedes the printing of the book by one year, and is a valuable primary record of the same. 8vo. 14 pages, plus a full page sketch map and photographic plate for illustration. 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. Francis "Frank" Kingdon-Ward (1885-1958) was a highly respected English botanist, explorer, plant collector and author. In 1913 he explored and collected in Yunnan and Tibet, and in the following year he made the first of his many visits to north Burma. He made some 22 expeditions over a period of nearly fifty years, exploring Tibet, North Western China, Burma (Myanmar) and Assam (now part of North Eastern India). In Burma he also conducted forestry research with native botanist Chit Ko Ko. Travelling in the mountains and valleys of Burma and adjacent areas, he traversed the unexplored country on the Burma-Tibet frontier in 1922, 1926 and again in 1930-31. He became one of the most important plant hunters in Asia and Southeast Asia in the mid-20th century, making a substantial contribution to botanical science.‎

‎Through Western Yunnan - 09‎

‎Title: Through Western Yunnan. [With Color Map] Author: F. Kingdom Ward Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1922. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: Renowned plant collector and explorer Francis Kingdon Ward describes a journey made in 1921 from Lashio in British Burma (Myanmar), to Kunlong, through a Yunnan valley he describes as, "thinly populated... poor... well cultivated, and [with] astonishing quantities of opium hidden away in the remoter nooks." Moving onward to ascend the Mekong Divide, he passed guarded villages and fascinating cities, crossed mountain ranges and valleys, and through regions well known for its brigands, along the way remarking on the people, commerce, geography and of course the flora. In the environs of Yungpeh, he describes well-wooded ranges sparsely populated but for a few tribes such as the Lao-p'ang which the Chinese accused of being prolific robbers. Finally reaching his destination in Sichuan - the early seventeenth century Muli Dasi monastery, home to the great lama - which still today serves as home for the Living Buddha of Muli, who holds the highest status in Tibetan religious culture. Ward would make this his residence for the following five months. Perched above the Litang river, it was the largest of three Buddhist monasteries in the area. He remarks on the Moso [Mosuo], a minority people among the region's seventeen ethnic groups, and on the breathtaking scenery of virgin forests and hundreds of soaring 900 peaks. 8vo. 21 pages, plus a fold-out color map measuring approximately 30 x 22cm, and photographic plates for illustration. 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. Excerpts from the text: "A journey from Lashio, the terminus of the Northern Shan States railway in British Burma, to Muli over the Szechwan border took me through some of the less-known parts of Yunna, and it is of the unfamiliar route that I write..." "Climbing the range in front of us we reached a pass of 11,260 feet above sea-level, and from the summit obtained a fine view of Chinese Tibet... below was the Yungning lake, a vivid sapphire... a small rock crowned by a white monastery, the peaceful home of the high lama..." "... we resumed our journey to Muli... to a village called Lichiangtze... june 7 we reached the monastery of Muli, above the Litang river, or Li Chu, as it is called here, and I was given quarters in the house of the cobbler." "Amongst the three or four Europeans who have passed through Muli on their travels are Mr. [Edvard] Amundsen the missionary, General H. R. Davies, and Mr. R. F. Johnston; but I venture to think that not one of them received the welcome accorded to me in 1921 at the hands of the grand lama... I had reached my destination...." End Excerpt. Francis "Frank" Kingdon-Ward (1885-1958) was a highly respected English botanist, explorer, plant collector and author. In 1913 he explored and collected in Yunnan and Tibet, and in the following year he made the first of his many visits to north Burma. He made some 22 expeditions over a period of nearly fifty years, exploring Tibet, North Western China, Burma (Myanmar) and Assam (now part of North Eastern India). In Burma he also conducted forestry research with native botanist Chit Ko Ko. Travelling in the mountains and valleys of Burma and adjacent areas, he traversed the unexplored country on the Burma-Tibet frontier in 1922, 1926 and again in 1930-31. He became one of the most important plant hunters in Asia and Southeast Asia in the mid-20th century, making a substantial contribution to botanical science. Muli lies on the border of Yunnan and Sichuan provinces, just north of the famous lake of Lugu. Until 1953 it was a Gelugpa Buddhist kingdom. The monastery at old Muli [Mili], is situated 120 km north of the county seat, in what is now the Muli Tibetan Autonomous County. It once housed more than 700 monks. It was originally built in the early Qing dynasty, took 12 years to build and was completed in the 17th year of the reign of the Shunzhi Emperor, around 1600. Present day Muli little has changed very little since Ward's visit - aside from the practice of robbery and pillage, that is. It has officially been open to tourism only for a few years, at the turn of our century. Ward's journey was contemporay to that of Austrian-American explorer and botanist Joseph Francis Charles Rock (1884-1962) who also studied the flora, peoples and languages of southwest China, mainly in Yunnan, from 1922-1949.‎

‎Letters written on board his majesty's ship the Northumberland and at Saint Helena in which the conduct and conversations of Napoleon Buonaparte and his suite during the voyage and the first months of his residence on that island are faithfully Described and Related‎

‎Philadelphia: M. Thomas. Very Good with no dust jacket. 1817. First Edition Thus. First Printing. Hard Cover. Bound in half red morocco over green marbled boards spine lettered and tooled in gilt with four raised bands. Illustrated with engraved frontispiece and engraved facsimile. Warden was a Surgeon on the Northumberland which conveyed Napoleon to St. Helena. During the voyages and for some time at Saint Helena Warden attended Napoleon. Following Napoleon's final defeat on the fields of Waterloo in 1815 and his surrender to the Royal Navy and eventual exile to St. Helena the public curiosity in England regarding the man who had terrorised Europe for years and dragged on a war that had begun in 1793 was overwhelming. Captain Maitland's perhaps better known account of Napoleon's time in the BELLEROPHON the ship Napoleon had surrendered to was not published until 1826. William Warden surgeon on board the NORTHUMBERLAND the ship that carried the Emperor into exile was on his return to England "in a state of persecution from the curiosity which prevails respecting that extraordinary character." Warden had spent several month on the island and was in a position to observe Napoleon at close quarters. His account is illustrated with an engraved vignette portrait of the prisoner a folding facsimile and a further engraved plate depicting two medals. The subject matter and criticism of the work sold many editions in the first year. The populace did not like the favorable depiction of Napoleon and the military and literary audience determining that Warden could not have been present at some of the things described took exception to his claims. Warden's French not being strong and his translator the Count de la Cases' English being confused in conveying Napoleon's comments apparently created discrepancies in the conversations as Napoleon later said that his conversations with Warden were quite different. .
