Descripción
Edizione: a fine early work on exploration in africa. murray was an editor of the 'scots magazine' and a fellow of the royal geographical society of london. prof. james wilson was a noted scottish zoologist. this work was one of the most popular books penned by either author. <br> the colonial possessions of the european powers in africa are described in detail (with some emphasis, no doubt due to the authors? heritage, on the british possessions). it is largely based on john leyden?s ?historical and philosophical sketch of the discoveries & settlements.? of 1798. murray and wilson?s text was originally published in 1818, but this second edition is revised and expanded with work by other collaborators. also detailed in the work are the exploits of the major explorers of africa with some emphasis on mungo park and hugh clapperton. the work is one of the most extensive and comprehensive of its kind, and a fine record from the period. it contains much material of both historic and scientific note on a wide spectrum of topics. the descriptions of many of the native peoples were amongst the earliest recorded, and the engravings are of special note. thefolding map is very detailed and finely executed.
