Born in Franconia, the son of a rabbi, Joseph Wolff (1795 1862) was
baptised in 1812, moved to England in 1819, and became a Christian
missionary. He travelled widely in the Near East, Middle East and
Central Asia, enduring shipwreck, robbery and disease. His
Researches and Missionary Labours among the Jews, Mohammedans, and
Other Sects (1835) and the miscellaneous Travels and Adventures
(1861) are also reissued in this series. First published in 1845
and reissued here in the revised second edition of that year, this
two-volume work records Wolff's journey to the Emirate of Bukhara
(in present-day Uzbekistan) to investigate the disappearance of two
British officers. Volume 1 begins with chapters covering Wolff's
background and previous travels, before focusing on his mission to
find the missing men, his initial investigations in Persia, and his
arrival in Bukhara, noting details of the people and culture."
