Arthur Arnold Through Persia By Caravan Volume 1 Tinsley Brothers, London 1877
Title: Through Persia By Caravan Volume 1
Author: Arthur Arnold
Format: Hardcover
Publisher: Tinsley Brothers, London 1877
Size: 6 x 9 * 333 pages
Synopsis: This is a scarce antiquarian book in original terra-cotta cloth with spine gilt (8vo, pp xv, 333). After nearly 150 years, this book is starting to show its age. That we are given the means to look back at the world as it was when this book was published is an amazing thing. I hope someone will want to preserve this volume and rebind it for another long run.
An account of the author's 1000-mile journey with his wife through the Middle East in 1875. Sir Arthur Arnold (1833-1902) was a radical politician and writer. In 1867 a tour in the south and east of Europe first aroused his philo-Hellenic sympathies, which were conspicuous in his descriptive letters 'From the Levant,' published in 1868, and to which he was constant through life. In the same year Arnold became first editor of the 'Echo,' a new evening paper, and one of the earliest to be sold for a halfpenny, which attained great success under his control. He resigned the post in 1875, soon after the purchase of the paper by Albert Grant, known as Baron Grant, and immediately started on a journey through the East with his wife, riding the whole length of Persia, a distance of more than 1000 miles. His 'Through Persia by Caravan ' (1877), dedicated to Earl and Countess Granville, gives a spirited account of his adventures.
