SYNOPSIS, BLURB...: A wonderful title being the history of the formation and operation of the IMPERIAL BRITISH EAST AFRICA COMPANY until . This volume was in the library of Lord Rosebury whilst he was Prime Minister of Great Britain. Rosebery was a pivotal figure in the formation of the IBEA Co and a firm supporter. Indeed, without his input it is doubtful the company would have become manifest upon the ground in East Africa. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). An ambitious and short lived project, the IBEA Co kick started European government, trade and settlement in Kenya. The IBEA Co was wound up in and the administration assumed by Imperial government. A good copy of the first edition of a very scarce title of only two editions (also ). Unique in having been within the library of so pivotal and important a personage as Lord Rosebery. It was later within another library, the labels and marks of which have been sadly (and badly) removed leaving the ghost of the impression of a hand stamp and m/s entries inside the front fly.
