Later half calf, spine ribbed with black morocco title-label. With engraved frontispiece, engraved plan and 3 folding engraved maps (skilfully repaired). XXXV,632 pp. Second and best edition. - 'This important work contains the earliest information in English about Darfur (Sudan). Browne, inspired by Bruce's travels, went to Egypt in 1792 hoping to explore the oases in the eastern Sahara and to journey to the source of the White Nile. He reached El Fashur in Darfur and was the first Englishman to explore the temple of Jupiter Ammon at the Oasis of Siwa.. Browne was the first European to describe Darfur, which he reached with a Sudanese caravan in 1793. He was imprisoned there by the Sultan of Darfur. In 1796 he reached Egypt again by caravan and eventually returned to England via Syria and Constantinople' (Blackmer 219). Browne gives detailed descriptions of the cities he visits, as well as the history of Cairo and Egypt under the Arabs. He was murdered by Kurdish bandits in 1813 at the age of forty-five. 'His description of Egypt is considered one of the best of the period' (Howgego p.153). - (Age-browned).Ibrahim-Hilmy I, p.91. [Boeknr.: 1108 ]

Contemporary marbled calf with gilt fillets round sides, spines gilt with red morocco labels (1 label missing; rebacked with the original spines laid down, some wear to spines and extremities), inner dentelles. With engraved title-vignettes, 3 battle plans, 3 folding maps, 4 leaves of Ethiopian dialects and 55 engraved plates. First edition. - James Bruce, Laird of Kinnaird (1730-1794), the first European to undertake an expedition aimed specifically at finding the Nile's source, failed in his attempt, but his exploration paved the way for many more travelers who came after him. In mid-1768 Bruce ascended the Nile from Alexandria and journeyed into the Ethiopian interior. In 1770 he believed to have found the source of the Nile near Gondar, the ancient capital of Abyssinia. Still he was mistaken, as he had not reached the source of the Nile, but only that of its considerable tributary. He descended the Blue Nile to its confluence with the White Nile at the site of present-day Khartoum. He was one of the earliest explorers to report this connection between the White and Blue Nile. The results of Bruce's travels was a very great enrichment of the knowledge of geography and ethnography especially of Ethiopia. His very readable account is still fascinating today. The plates based on Bruce's own and Balugani's drawings include botanical and zoological specimens, antiquities and artefacts. - 'One of the most splendid narratives in the litterature of African exploration' (Hallet, Africa to 1875, p.110). - Some foxing and offsetting from plates, otherwise a fine copy of a milestone in the history of travel literatur.

(6),XCVIII,498 pp. Second edition, first published in 1819. - ' Nowadays we can regard the work of John Lewis Burckhardt as a landmark in the development of western knowledge of Islam and the Arab world' (Hamilton, Europe and the Arab world, 57). 'The travels described here took place in 1813 and 1814. Burckhardt left Aleppo in 1812 and made his way to Cairo; he then carried out two journeys: one along the upper Nile and the other through the Nubian desert. These travels were edited from Burckhardt's journals by Leake; he also wrote the biographical memoir which is prefaced to the travels. This was the first of Burckhardt's works to be published and was followed by Travels in Syria, 1822' (Blackmer). Johann Ludwig (known in England as John Lewis) Burckhardt (1784-1817), Swiss scholar and explorer in Syria, Egypt and Arabia, is a heroic figure among travellers in the Levant. In 1817 he began the exploration of Africa with the countries of the Niger, but he was attacked by dysentery and died in October of that year. - With 2 small libr. stamps, otherwise an excellent copy.Ibrahim Hilmy I, p.105; Blackmer Collection 238; Weber 106; Von Hünersdorff I, p.229; Hamilton, Europe and the Arab world, p.158 'his most dangerous journey is described in his Travels in Nubia'.
