First edition; flyleaf with presentation inscription from the author to "Mr . Regnaudiu". Important overview of Turkish trade, resources, infrastructure and municipal organisation by the diplomat David Urquhart (1805-1877). After two and a half years fighting in the Greek war of independence, Urquhart was invited to accompany Si…r Stratford Canning to Istanbul in November 1831 as an advisor during negotiations to settle the Greek boundary. In 1832 Urquhart was sent to Albania to cultivate the support of Rechid Pasha, leading advisor to the Turkish sultan. Urquhart became a great supporter of Turkey, spending most of 1834 in the country, and encouraged the British government to ally with Turkey against Egypt. The present substantial book was written to inform the British political class of the possible commercial benefits of an Anglo-Turkish alliance.Some negligible discolouration in first few leaves, light wear to extremities. In very good condition and untrimmed. Scarce, particularly in original condition as here.l Goldsmiths' 27883. Contemporary boards. With lithographed map as frontispiece. Pages: XV, [1], 328 pp.

Enlarged second edition of a work on the sea battle at Cape St Vincent, by the English army officer and military historian John Drinkwater Bethune (1762-1844), "one of the most important eye-witness accounts of the battle, by a spectator rather than a participant" (NMM).
