Descrizione

2 vols., 8vo., First Edition thus, with portrait frontispieces (one in colour), coloured or tinted plates, woodcut illustrations in the text, plans on japon (2 folding; one double-page) and large folding coloured map, half-title of first volume lightly spotted; original black cloth, upper boards blocked in gilt, gilt backs, red tops, black endpapers, neatly rebacked with old backstrips laid down, a very good, bright, clean, crisp copy. Sold from an institution with its bookplates on front paste-downs and free endpapers, and neat blind stamp on titles. 'It will thus be seen that this edition is very complete, as it has the various appendices from all the past editions. There is also a full index. As in the second edition [1857] there are thirty-four chapters instead of the original thirty-five, owing to two being made appendices, 'The Damascus Caravan' being numbered as a separate chapter' (Penzer). Burton's classic account was first published in 1855. Penzer, p.54.
