Sind Revisited: With Notices of the Anglo-Indian Army; Railroads; Past, Present and Future, etc:


Book Description
First Edition. Original Grey-Mauve cloth with border on front cover enclosing a black stamped floral resign. Lettered in gilt. Re-cased. The binding is a little faded and soiled, but overall in very good condition. Library number in white, and remnant of a contemporary library sticker to the base of each spine. Internally, largely clean and tidy, but with a little darkening to the edges and occasional light foxing.
Dealer Notes
Initially Burton had written a report on the Sind and its population in “Reports on Bombay” in around 1849, hence the “revisited” here. Burton intended that this much updated text on India after the mutiny be illustrated with a map and photographs taken on this 1876 journey with Isabel. However, his publisher returned the map and photographs he had sent them, as he considered that the expense would be too great.
