BAKER, Samuel W.
Ismailia. A Narrative of the Expedition to Central Africa for the Suppression of the Slave Trade. Organized Ismail, Khedive of Egypt. London: Macmillan & Co,. 1874. In two volumes. First edition. Tall 8vo., orig. green with pictorial decoration in gilt on the upper covers and spines, viii, 447, 55pp.ads dated "October 1874;" viii, 588pp. There is a two inch tear in the folding map (no loss), bookplates, spines slightly cocked with some wear to the ends, but certainly a very good copy. "In 1869, at the request of the khedive Ismail, Baker undertook the command of a military expedition to the equatorial regions of the Nile, with the object of suppressing the slave-trade there and opening the way to commerce and civilization. Before starting from Cairo with a force of 1700 Egyptian troops, many of them discharged convicts, he was given the rank of pasha and major-general in the Ottoman army. Lady Baker, as before, accompanied him. The khedive appointed him Governor-General of the new territory of Equatoria for four years at a salary of £10,000 a year; and it was not until the expiration of that time that Baker returned to Cairo, leaving his work to be carried on by the new governor, Colonel Charles George Gordon. He had to contend with innumerable difficulties - the blocking of the river in the Sudd, the bitter hostility of officials interested in the slave-trade, the armed opposition of the natives - but he succeeded in planting in the new territory the foundations upon which others could build up an administration.He returned to England with his wife in 1874...He published his narrative of the central African expedition under the title of Ismailia (1874)."
