FIRST EDITION OF THIS ELUSIVE AND SIGNIFICANT WORK. Ainsworth's excellent account of the Euphrates expedition, to which he was appointed surgeon and geologist. The expedition was intended to "examine the feasibility of opening up the Mesopotamian rivers to steam navigation as a new route to India as well as asserting British political presence in the area, promoting British commercial ties, and gathering scientific and archaeological data" (ODNB). This is arguably the fullest contemporary account of the expedition , as the fraught publication history of Chesney's account meant that his 'NARRATIVE.(London, 1868) was ultimately less detailed than intended. This copy was owned by John Brinton who was elected member of parliament for Kidderminster in 1880 but accepted the Chiltern Hundreds next month because he was holding a government contract at the time. He was reelected without opposition and held the seat until 1886. In 1887 he presented Brinton Park to Borough of Kidderminster. He became High Sheriff of Worcestershire in 1889 and was an Alderman of the County Council from 1890. His attractive engraved plate is at each pastedown.

Original blue printed wrappers. Official report of the Mesopotamia Commission appointed in August 1916 to investigate the events connected with the Siege of Kut Al-Amara, the worst Allied defeat of the Great War. The Commission's remit was to enquire "into the origin, inception, and conduct of operations of war in Mesopotamia, including the supply of drafts, reinforcements, ammunition, and equipment of the troops and fleet, the provision for the sick and wounded, and the responsibility of those departments of Government whose duty it has been to minister to the wants of the forces employed in that theatre of war" (p. 3). In the spring of 1916, T. E. Lawrence had been dispatched to Mesopotamia to assist in relieving Kut by either starting an Arab uprising or negotiating a secret deal with Enver Pasha, offering £2 million for the free retreat of the troops; the mission produced no useful result, and General Townshend surrendered on 29 April after a siege of 147 days. Some 13,000 Allied soldiers survived to be made prisoners. - Contents include: Origin of Mesopotamia expedition; Advance from Basra to Kurna; The advance from Amara and Kut; Correspondence and telegrams as to advance on Baghdad; The advance from Kut to Ctesiphon; Operations for relief of Kut; Armament, equipment, reinforcements; Transport; Medical breakdown; Causes contributing to the errors of judgment and shortcomings of responsible authorities; Findings and conclusions; Separate report by Commander J.

This poem is said to be an earlier work by 'A Tommy', the pseudonymous author of the collection 'If I Goes West', published in London by Harrap in 1918. WorldCat has no entries to support a second claim: that the present poem was published in 1917, with the subtitle 'Verses written by a "Tommy" who has fought, suffered and triumphed in Mesopotamia, and is still on active service there'. While there is no indication that the poem has ever been published in its entirety, extracts from it appeared in 'The Bystander', 27 November 1916; and 'The Near East', 6 July 1917; the latter, headed 'An Alphabet from Mesopotamia', being preceded by the following: 'A member of our Fighting Forces in Mesopotamia has composed some verses, which he entitles " The Alphabet of Mesopotamia." Through the kindness of a correspondent we are allowed to reproduce here some specimens'. There may also be a reference in Catherine W. Reilly's 1978 bibliography 'English Poetry of the First World War'. Duplicated typescript titled 'ALPHABET OF MESOPOTAMIA.' 2pp, foolscap 8vo. Text complete on two leaves of air mail paper, glued together. Apparently contemporary, and with the look of an item that has been handed around the mess room. Twenty-six four-line stanzas: one for each letter of the alphabet, apart from a joint stanza for S and T, and ending with an 'ENVOI'. The first stanza reads: ' "A" Was an apple that grew so they say | In the Garden of Eden down Qurnah way | Till Eve came along and ate it one day | And got thrown out of Mesopotamia.' The poem includes the following stanzas: ' "F" Stands for Fritz who flies in the sky | To bring down the brute we've many a try | But the shells that we shoot seem to all pass him by | And fall --- on Mesopotamia.', ' "J" Is the jam with the label that lies | And states that in Paris it won the first prize | But out here we use it for catching the flies | That swarm in Mesopotamia.', ' "U" Is the Lake we call Umm-el-Brahm | And guards our flanks from all possible karm [sic] | And waters Gorringe's Barley Farm | In the middle of Mesopotamia.', ' "V" Is the Victory we won at Dujailah | I heard of it first from a friend who's a sailor | Who read it in Reuter's on board a mahela | On the Tigris in Mesopotamia.', ' "W" Stands for the wonder and pain | With which we regard the infirm and insane | Old Indian Generals who guide the campaign | Which we're waging in Mesopotamia.', ' "Y" Is the yearning we feel every day | For a passage to Basra and thence to Bombay | If we get there we'll see that we stay right away | From this wilderness - Mesopotamia.'.

Second edition, significantly expanded and revised from the first of 1915, including updated sections on Al Hasa and Nejd and the rule of the Saud dynasty, as well as 22 additional route descriptions in the final section. The 20-page index, tucked into the end band, was issued only with a subset of copies. The first edition, issued in March 1915, went through three small printings in a year, but the outbreak of the Arab Revolt and the upswing in the Mesopotamian Campaign necessitated its revision. Chapters discuss history, geography, populations, resources, maritime issues, and administration, while also providing British intelligence on the Ottoman forces. On the "fighting qualities of local Arabs of Mesopotamia", the compilers observe that "for several years the Arabs have been very friendly towards the British, and on several occasions prominent chiefs have come forward with suggestions of a British Protectorate" (p. 90). The routes draw on a variety of sources, including Lorimer, reports by captains Shakespear and Leachman, the Danish explorer Barclay Raunkiaer, Lieutenant Arnold Wilson, and recent intelligence supplied by Lieutenant-Colonel L. S. Newmarch, Resident and Consul-General at Baghdad. In a reflection of the region's changing geopolitics, the list of important personages is reduced from 25 in the first edition to only 11. Octavo.

Folio (212 x 298 mm). 25 ff. Contemporary brown leatherette binding with giltstamped cover-title. The original Joint Venture Agreement between the state-owned Iraqi Drilling Company (IDC) and the Mesopotamia Petroleum Company (MPC), with the autograph signatures of Idriss Muhsen Al-Yassiri, General Director of IDC, Stephen Remp, Director of MPC and its associate Ramco Energy, and Peter Redman, Director of Midmar Energy and Firstdrill, other associate companies of MPC. - This joint venture, known as the Iraqi Oil Services Company LLC (IOSCO), was created with the objective of drilling 60 new wells each year in the Republic of Iraq, thus significantly increasing oil and gas production. This groundbreaking deal was the first joint venture of its kind between the Iraqi Ministry of Oil and a foreign oil company since the fall of the regime of Saddam Hussein in 2003. On 7 July 2009, IDC terminated the agreement after MPC failed to fulfil financial obligations. MPC was unable to confirm funding of $44.1 million to meet the initial capital commitments to preserve its 49 percent stake in the venture. - Handwritten addition by Stephen Remp on fol. 4 specifying the territory of the joint venture: "(i.e. Missan Province or any other Provinces to be mutually agreed by The Parties.) [.]". - In mint condition.
