"India and the Frontier States of Afghanistan, Nipal and Burma" by J. Talboys Wheeler, published by Peter Fenelon Collier in 1899, offers an in-depth exploration of the geopolitical landscape of South Asia at the turn of the 20th century. This volume, originating from New York, provides comprehensive maps and tables, enriching the historical narrative. Wheeler, formerly an assistant secretary to the Indian government, lends his expertise to this detailed account. This edition includes a supplementary chapter by Edgar Saltus, adding context to recent events of the time. This particular volume is scarce, especially in its current condition, and is an essential acquisition for historians and collectors interested in colonial and regional studies. The book is bound in red cloth with the title embossed in gold on the spine. The absence of a dust jacket and some wear on the spine's edges are noted, reflecting the book's age and usage.
