Item description from seller

8vo (110 x 163 mm). (2), 18 pp. Original printed wrappers. First and only edition of this excessively rare manual by a British Lieutenant in the Indian Army, on the topic of Aden and its vicinity, describing the "Arab tribes which actually border on British territory", specifically, "Abdali, Fadthli, and Akrabi". - The 'Abdali Sultanate, located just north of Aden city, was one of the most important tribal areas of the Aden Protectorate. Mosse writes that they are "the most civilised and least warlike of the tribes [.] They number some 12,000 to 15,000, their capital Lahej or Al-Hautah being situated about 16 miles N.W. of Shaikh Othman". Of the Fadhli Sultanate, Mosse writes that they "can number about 6,000 fighting men [.] They are proud, warlike and independent. Their chief town Shukra is a port with a considerable trade, chiefly in fish". Finally, of the Aqrabi Sheikhdom, Mosse writes that they are "a small tribe, with a high reputation for courage". - An appendix provides "Notes on the present Ruling Chiefs of some of the Protected Tribes". These include "Sultan Sir Ahmed Fadthl" of the 'Abdali, who is "entitled to a salute of 9 guns. An astute and capable ruler [.] He drives a considerable revenue from the transit and other dues on Caravans passing to and from Aden". Next is "Sultan Ahmed Husen" of the Fadthli, also entitled to a nine-gun salute, noted as "comparatively uneducated, but is a more powerful ruler than any of his predecessors". Another, "Ali bin Mani" of the Haushabi, is "a young chief who has only recently been elected Sultan by his tribe, promises to be an improvement upon his predecessor whose evil reputation lives after him". This predecessor perhaps was his father, Sultan Hussein, who was rumoured to have assassinated the previous sultan. Finally, of "Shaif bin Saif Abdul Haid" of the Amiri, Mosse notes, "His position on the Turkish frontier is a difficult one [.] Is very loyal and ready to take advice". - Other details describe British and local settlements, hotels, and shops, centres of native trade, the Italian Salt Works, the Eastern Telegraph Co. telegraph station on Perim Island off Aden ("called, by the Arabs, Meyun"), and more. - Aden was ruled as a part of British India from 1839 until 1937, when it became a Crown Colony. Its proximity to Zanzibar, the Suez Canal and Mumbai made it an important strategic possession in the British Empire. - Spine professionally repaired, with a few very subtle further paper repairs. This particular work is uncommon on the market, and is not listed on OCLC nor auction records.

Description de la boutique

We have been dealing in valuable books, manuscripts, and autographs since 1883. As members of the International League of Antiquarian Booksellers (ILAB), the Verband der Antiquare Österreichs (Austrian association of antiquarian booksellers), as well as the Verband deutscher Antiquare e.V.

A large proportion of our customers is made up of institutions, including renowned international universities and major state libraries. We keep contact with our private customers at international book fairs and through our online catalogues. You are welcome to visit us on our business premises from Monday to Friday, 10 AM to 6 PM. We are happy to take buying orders for the important book auctions in Germany and Austria, which we attend regularly. We dedicate special attention to the estates and archives of important personalities of the arts and sciences in European and world history. Through specially prepared archive catalogues we have been able to sell the archives of Viktor Léon (librettist, 1859-1940), Leo Fall (operetta composer, 1873-1925), Lotte Lehmann (singer, 1888-1976), Otto Tressler (actor, 1871-1865) and Max Reinhardt (director, 1873-1743), as well as the last privately owned important original manuscripts by Ludwig Wittgenstein (philosopher, 1889-1951). Along the lines of this specialization our buying policy concentrates especially on these fields.
