We will not say as the Athenians said of their nation that the first inhabitants of America were created when the sun was first lit up in the sky but we suppose they early reached this continent from the east." From the indefatigable lecturer on the topic of the supposed early Norse settlement of New England first published as early as 1839 as A Lecture on the Discovery of America by the Northmen Five Hundred Years before Columbus; Davis drew extensively on his own excavation of mounds in the Ohio Valley as well as other relics and ancient accounts to suggest Norse settlement of America from an early date.

Both volumes have unopened pages light shelf wear; else clean and sound. Text is in French. DNB: "In 1926 Philby settled in Jiddah Saudi Arabia founded a trading company Sharqieh Ltd and became a close friend and an unofficial adviser of Ibn Sa'ud. Business exploration writing and Ibn Sa'ud's councils were henceforth the pattern of his life. Commerce however was only his bread and butter: his true interest was exploration. Over the next thirty years he made a series of remarkable journeys of which the greatest was his crossing of the 'empty quarter' in 1932. On these journeys he travelled by camel and later by car. By day he collected place names temperatures compass bearings barometric pressures rocks fossils flora and fauna and ancient inscriptions. At night he wrote them up in his diaries squatting in the sand by lamplight and hiding his work from his suspicious Arab escort. These journeys and the many books articles and lectures in which he described them are a monument to his scholarship industry and endurance and won him high honour with the Royal Geographical Society the British Museum Kew Gardens and academic societies all over the world."
