192535 pages. Plus photographic plates and a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 8 x 14.5 inches (20 x 37cm). 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. Interesting narrative from a learned source, Sir Percy Cox, adviser to the Sultan of Oman and long term resident of the Persian Gulf. Cox outlines journeys undertaken from Abu Dhabi to Baraimi and along the fringe of Oman on the desert side, to the Jabal Akhdhar or Green Mountains - a distance of about 400 miles; and also his trip from Ras al Khaima to Baraimi and to the coast at Shinas, along it to Sohar. Features descriptions of Oman's capital - Muscat, the Trucial coast, its principalities and the Great Pearl Bank, local fauna, 'the music of the sands,' Ras al Khaima, stronghold of the Jowasmi pirates, and most interestingly perhaps, encounters with local sheikhs. Accompanied by photographic plates and a large fold-out colour map, this narrative also includes comments and notes by veteran Arabia explorers such as H. St. J.B. Philby.

In 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. The first report: 24 pages, including a full-page sketch map, plus a large fold-out color map measuring 18.5 inches x 8.5 inches (47cm x 22cm). This is an exceptional expedition report on the Karun River and the commercial geography of south-west Persia, that pre-dates the authors all-important book, "Persia and the Persian Question", first published in 1892. The book is one of the most important books on Persia; dealing with every aspect of Persia, political, archaeological, cultural, etc., its great strength is its topographical section. As Ghani says, "his powers of observation and analysis were extraordinary; no detail ever escaped him. His book can still be used as a topographical guide for travel in Iran." Ghani 87. This makes this report a highly valuable important primary resource. The second report: 21 pages, plus a large fold-out color map, measuring approximately 13 inches x 21 inches (33 cm x 53 cm). Featuring first hand observations of nomadic Bakhtiari tribes, Lynch's chronology recounts his nineteenth century journey in Persia, which he delineates on a large colour map, showing his route from the ancient fortress city Shushter in the Khuzestan province, to Ispahan (Esfahan). Early adventure in West and Central Iran, comprising river-crossings, summit climbs, and destitute villages.
1923Title: Jauf and the North Arabian Desert. Author: H. St. J. B. Philby Publisher: London: Edward Stanford, Royal Geographical Society, 1923. Item is in Original Condition, with Blue Wrappers - As Issued, Complete with All the Ads! Notes & Condition: Philby recounts a journey made in 1922 together with railway engineer Major Holt, through Jordan to Jauf [Al Jawf Region, Al-Jouf] and into Iraq as far as Karbala, for the purpose of investigating the area's unstable political situation, and to examine possibilities of building a railway in the Wadi Sirhan valley. Beginning with a fascinating summary of a most unstable government indeed, Philby describes an ongoing power struggle between two dynasties, inter-tribal raids, a slave governor being murdered, betrayals and quarrels over land, so forth. The pair travelled to Medina, to the volcanic lava field of Harrat al-Shamah where they found some Safaitic inscriptions on stone, then to Sakaka where they stayed for nine days, and eventually arriving at the Al-Ukhaidir Fortress and the city of Karbala [Iraq], to be hosted by the Arab governor. Choosing a safe route was imperative as rebel holdings were prolific, particularly in the Al-Jawf Region. Once their mission was accomplished they made their way north for Ramadi, from where a flight would take them back to Amman. Interesting accounts describe inhospitable places and encounters, most notably the house of Sha'lan whose members were able to impede the expedition for some time. Philby's observations further include the important village of Kaf and its citizens, the Quraiyat salt -pans which are worked by the Badawin [Bedouins]; the plain of Ithra and its settlement of the black tents of the Ruwalla; the vast, dazzling, white salt marsh of Nuqrat al Hadhaudha, the prominent landmark of Kharana; Shaib Shanmari and in Jauf itself, the great medieval Arab fortress of Qasr Marid, the ruins of the hamlets of Suq and Suq al Hattab, the Safaitic inscriptions at Harrat; at the Sultan's invitation, a visit to Sakaka; the oasis of Qara; Suluba; the wells of Abal Dufuf; the magnificent ruins of Ukhaidir; Abu Dibis and Amadi. Photographic plates provide excellent visuals from the journey. Philby's account is accompanied by a large highly detailed fold-out colour map and a report by Major A. L. Holt titled, "The Future of the North Arabian Desert," which outlines his work in terms of developing communications through the desert, and a compelling argument promoting the desert as an important trade route. Holt accompanied Philby on his extraordinary Arabian adventure. At the time of this expedition, Philby was chief head of the Secret Service in Mandatory Palestine (since November 1921), working with T. E. Lawrence and meeting his American counterpart, Allen Dulles. 8vo. Two reports, 39 pages combined, plus a large fold-out colour map measuring approximately 59 x 34 cm, 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. Excerpt from the text: "We left Amman on 10 March 1922... my personal preference... camels over mechanical transport in the real desert... in country where no organized route exists" "... The introduction of modern firearms has been a curse and veritable scourge to Arabia and its independent, individualistic denizens... the Arab social code of raid and rapine has not shown any signs as of yet of adjusting itself..." "... the northern desert of Arabia is at the present moment unsafe in the widest sense of the term - unsafe for the innocent traveller, the merchant, and the shepherd - there are already signs of a welcome change in the south, where Ibn Sa'ud has created a well-knit polity on a religious basis and has found himself strong enough to prohibit tribal raiding within his borders." "Our reception by the authorities of Kaf was cordial enough though guarded.... We were not allowed to visit the natural fortress ... called Qasr Sa'idi... a small guard of some twenty-five men with machine guns... Kaf is commanded by this eminence..." "... within a month of our sojourn at Jauf, we heard of the downfall of the house of Sha'lan at the hands of Ibn Sa'ud. As rulers they were detested by their own people, whom they treated with insolent harshness..." "Every human seen in the desert is an enemy, and the weaker party must make its best speed away if it would escape death." End Excerpt. Harry St John Bridger Philby, Order of the Indian Empire (CIE) (1885-1960), also known as Jack Philby or Sheikh Abdullah, was a British Arabist, explorer, writer, colonial office intelligence officer, and adviser to the first monarch of Saudi Arabia. Philby joined the British Foreign Service in 1917 and was the first European to visit the southern desert of Arabia. He was the first European to enter Abha, the capital of Najran, the frontier district between the Wahhabis and the Yemenites, and the second to visit Shabwa, although he was the first to explore the ruins where he discovered the great temple of Astarte. During Philby's explorations of Arabia, he came into contact with Ibn Saud, and was greatly influenced by the Wahabi ideology and culture, converting to Islam and renouncing his faith in Christianity.
1938Notes & Condition: Philby, a famed Arabian explorer and father of master spy Kim Philby, renounced British policy, became a Moslem, and joined the Wahabis. This expedition report Predates Philby's Book, entitled, Sheba's Daughters, Being a Record of Travel in Southern Arabia, With an Appendix on the Rock Inscriptions by A.F.L.Beeston, First Published in 1939. The account of a journey made by the author, Ibn Saud’s official adviser, from the King’s camp on the Mecca to Riyadh road to the Indian Ocean. Philby was the first European to enter Abha, the capital of Najran, the frontier district between the Wahhabis and the Yemenites, and the second to visit Shabwa, although he was the first to explore the ruins where he discovered the great temple of Astarte. An excellent account of Philby's travels in southern Arabia, particularly the Hadhramaut in 1936. The longest of Philby's journeys, ostensibly to map the new frontier with Yemen. Until the 1930's the highlands of south-west corner of Arabia were among the world's few remaining lands not fully explored or charted. Into that region Philby, author and explorer, made two journeys, the first in 1932, and the second in 1936 and 1937. This important Arabian Expedition is an account of exploration, containing valuable material on the Yemeni-Saudi borders, and excellent quality photographs taken for the first time in that area by a European.
