Levant.- Asmar (Maria Theresa) Memoirs of a Babylonian Princess.. written by herself, 2 vol., first English edition, engraved portrait frontispiece, occasional very light foxing, original cloth, spines faded, covers a little spotted but a sharp and excellent copy overall, [not in Atabey or Blackmer], 8vo, 1844. ⁂ A superb copy of a rare account of travels through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine. Asmar (1804-c.1870) managed, against tremendous obstacles, to set up a school for women in Baghdad. She then welcomed in western Christian missionaries who promptly bribed the Turkish government to hand over the licence to them and then terminated Asmar's project.
