Ajouter au panierFirst edition. Small octavo. 128 pages. Recently recased in unlettered cloth-backed paper boards, endpapers renewed. A very scarce account of ballooning by a man probably better remembered as the author of A Ride to Khiva: Travels and Adventures in Central Asia (1876) and On Horseback Through Asia Minor (1877). An adventurer and British Army intelligence officer, the very picture of a Victorian imperialist hero, he met his end in hand-to-hand fighting at the Battle of Abu Klea.Some spotting to title-page and last page of text. Very good.
