Joseph Masters, London: 1852. First edition. Blackmer sale 1137: "Badger, East India Company chaplain and Arabist, was sent to Mesopotamia and Kurdistan in 1842 and returned in 1850. Apart from his travels in Kurdistan the work contains accounts of visits to Antioch and the Black Sea. The Nesotrians exercised a fascination for Anglicans in the nineteenth century from their having been virtually isolated from the rest of Christendom since the fifth century." Two volumes. 8vo.; xxiv, (2), 448pp.; xiii, (2), 426pp. Illustrated, 17 plates, folding map; errata leaf in each volume. Somewhat later green leather (joints and edges rubbed), gilt, spines richly gilt with ornamentation and rules within raised bands, leather spine labels, marbled endpapers and edges; plates somewhat foxed, but a very good copy.
