First edition. Extensive bibliography of the Sudan, considered "a monument of patient research" (African Affairs). Prepared by the British historian Richard Hill (1901-96), a pioneer in the study of the modern history of the Sudan. The bibliography lists every publication the author was able to trace anywhere in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan and other territories formerly under the pre-Mahdiat Egyptian rule administered from Khartoum. Arranged by subject, with geography covering no fewer than 50 pages, including works on the exploration of the Nile; history comprising another 40 pages.

Binding slightly rubbed, lower inner hinges broken. Interior in fine condition. A book that "no library to which the Sudan is of interest can afford to be without" (African Affairs).
