The editor of this book has done a great service by issuing this collection of the rarer and more inaccessible of Burton`s articles which he contributed from time time to the journals of learned societies. Some of these articles are so rare that the chance of finding them is little less than an impossibility. The selection of these papers is not only based on rarity of the article or its interest but also to give an singh into the varied activities and achievements of burton`s crowded life and to provide a glimpse into nthe life-work of one of the greatest men of the victorian era. Any collection representative of the Burton`s worjks has to be wide in its scope. It must deal not only with the better known sides of his life-travel and anthropology, but also with the multifarious interest which he acquired in whatever part of the world he happened to find himself. Most of the papers in the present collection are those issued during the height of burton`s career as an explorer. It includes the most important and almost extinct original of burton`s "early days in sind" with full account of his numerous adventures when in disguise he laid the foundation of his great anthropological knowledge. Also included are the very rare " guide Book to Mecca" and an article on harar. The distinctively anthropological papers included provide interesting light on little known manners and customs of the places he visited. The book will fill a colossal gap in obtaining some of burton`s most interesting and rare works. ISBN 81-7020-924-2
