    Description

    Colour Plates, First Edition, Folding Maps, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

    The first edition, first impression of this work.

    Illustrated with four photographic plates, and with a colour folding map of the Middle East to the rear. Collated, complete.

    A biography of British Conservative statesman George Nathaniel Curzon, focusing on his time as Viceroy of India from 1899 to 1905, and published within his lifetime.

    The author of this work, Lovat Fraser, expresses his desire to present this information from 'the position of detached observer', especially as it comes to his analysis of the state of India following Curzon's departure.

    With the bookplate of Eveline Miller to the front pastedown, and an October 1911 newspaper review of this work from The Times tipped in to the front free endpaper.

    Chapters focus on 'Persia and Tibet', 'The Overhauling of Machinery', 'Commerce and Industry' and 'The Problem of Plague'.
