Description

A Ride Through Asia Minor and Armenia. First edition, published in 1891 by John Murray, Albemarle Street. Ex library edition, stamps throughout the book, newly rebound as visible on the photos. Very good condition overall. A Ride through Asia Minor and Armenia: giving a sketch of the characters, manners, and customs of both the Mussulman and Christian inhabitants, by Henry C. Barkley (London, 1891). A vivid description of life in the Ottoman Empire during the late 1870s, and a most important account. The author, throughout his travels, comments on places, peoples, customs, and makes observations on many topics not often treated elsewhere. He is a terrific writer, too.
