Small Octavo. pp. [4] 188, with a fold-out map of Persia at the end of the book, followed by two pages, dated November 1929, advertising the Histories of the Nations series.
Condition
A book in Good condition only with rubbing and staining to the cloth boards, but with a tight binding and clean pages. The small, neat signature of H.M. Carless on the front free endpaper.
