Interiors very good, lightly tanned with some spotting, and inscription to final page. Suakin, a key trade and… Hajj port on the Sudanese Red Sea coast, was at this time a strategic location in the Mahdist War. Dated 15 October 1887 to Moore's Introduction, this coincides with military operations in the region, with Suakin itself coming under Mahdist attack on 20 December. Watson (1844-1916) had served under Gordon in Sudan during 1874-5, and participated in the survey of the White Nile. He performed special intelligence duties in the Anglo-Egyptian War (1882), then appointed as Governor General of the Red Sea Littoral while much of Sudan was under Dervish control. He handed over to Kitchener in 1886, who was based at Suakin during 1886-8. Wilson compiled this work from R.N. Cust's vocabulary, with Khalifah Safwah and Khalifah Abdullah assisting on the Beni-Amer, and Idris Effendi on the Hadendoa, the latter a Madhi supporting nomadic sub-division of the Beja. The whole was revised by Marcopoli Bey. The vocabulary is presented in 7 columns (one for English, and 2 each for Arabic, Hadendowa and Beni-Amer in Latin and original scripts), and includes some short phrases. Scarce. (Ref. Dictionary of Irish Biography).
