Description

Two volumes. No marks or inscriptions. Two very clean very tight copies with bright unmarked red cloth boards, very slight bumping to spine feet and no bumping to corners. Dust jackets not price clipped or marked or torn with slight creasing to spine extremities from being constrained in protective sleeves. Both jackets now protected in fully-removable transparent sleeves. Large folded detailed map at end of Vol 2 in perfect condition. Total of 657pp. Burton's purported reason for visiting North West Arabia in 1877 to 1878 was gold prospecting but his real purpose was to study and survey the region scientifically. Facsimile edition of the 1879 edition.
