London, Edward Arnold, 1898. Cloth. The fascinating recount of Slatin's time serving in Sudan, richly illustrated, including with a folding map. Popular edition.  In the publisher's original maroon cloth binding.  Featuring twenty-two plates, including the frontispiece, and a folding map to the rear.  Thirty-two pages of publisher's advertisements to the rear.  A remarkable first-hand account of Sudan under the rule of the Khalifa, with comprehensive and lively details on the fighting of the time and what it was like serving the dervishes. Written by Rudolf Calf von Slatin, an Anglo-Austrian soldier and administrator in the Sudan. Translated into English by Colonel F. R. Wingate.  In the publisher's original maroon cloth binding. Externally, very smart with slight bumping and rubbing, resulting in minor loss of cloth, predominantly to the spine head, tail and tips, and a few marks to the boards. Internally, generally firmly bound, the front hinge being a little weak. A bright and clean copy with the odd spot, more concentrated to the first and last few pages. Very Good . Ill.: Not Stated.
