Erstausgabe
First edition. Folding map & eight chromolithographic plates, further engraved vignettes in text. 8vo. Publisher's mauve blindstamped cloth, spine gilt, sunned, extremities a little rubbed, minor marginal dampstaining to rear endpapers, else very good. xxiii, [i], 448pp. London, Chapman and Hall, A rare work by Westphalian economist Baron von Haxthausen, published in English at the opening of the Crimean War. Though the manuscript was composed in the author's native German and completed in 1849 under the title 'Transkaukasia', this is the first edition to reach the press, having not found a favourable reception with German or French publishers. The translation was made by J.E. Taylor. Commenting on the war in the preface, there is an assurance that ?the translation has not been revised by the Author, and nothing whatsoever has been done to adapt it to the present crisis.? Haxthausen's particular focus from an economics perspective was in land, specifically soil, and the intersection between the abolition of serfdom and the ?primeval relation of man to the soil? He travelled through the Caucasus with his equally noble companion Prince Paul Lieven, who shared his interest in the division of landed property. They were also concerned with investigating the theoretical connection between the Osset people and the Ancient Germans, as well as the Caucasus tribes more generally. Their expedition began at sea from Kerch to the Circassian coast, stopping at Anapa, Soojouk-Kale, Gelintschik and Kabardinsk. There is discussion of Circassian slavery, as well as trade with Russia and Turkey. Their travels continue into Georgia and Armenia, where from Erivan there is a visit to the Yezidis and the Dervishes. He shows keen interest in the history of the different ethnic groups, and records where he can their movements and migrations, often returning to the Circassian people as a point of reference.
