Descripción

2 vols., 8vo., Third Impression thus, with 2 portrait frontispieces, map in the text and 4 large folding maps; green cloth, gilt backs, a near fine copy in unclipped, very lightly age-marked dustwrapper. The set comprises: Vol. I: 1870-1914; Vol. II: 1914-1931. Huxley's first published work is a classic of Kenyan, indeed of East African, history. First issued by Macmillan in 1935, it was an immediate success - the 'Kenya Weekly News' urged its readers to buy the book 'even though it costs the equivalent of 8 sacks of maize'. It was re-issued by Chatto & Windus in 1953 and then again in 1968 with an important new Preface. This is the third impression thus. SCARCE IN ANY IMPRESSION, ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. See Cross & Perkin A1(d).
