HIGHLY IMPORTANT EARLY EXPLORATION INTO AFRICA AND A RARE EDITION IN FULL CONTEMPORARY CALF WITH ORIGINAL SPINE PANELS AND WITHOUT REPAIRS. A cornerstone to any collection of Africana this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over A hundred year period. This set with the added murray volume rarely encountered in matching binding as here.<br> With time on his hands and at the urging of a friend Bruce composed this account of his travels on the African continent including comments on the history and religion of Egypt an account of Indian trade a history of Abyssinia and other such material. Although Bruce would not be confused with "a great scholar or a judicious critic. few books of equal compass are equally entertaining; and few such monuments exist of the energy and enterprise of a single traveller" DNB. "The result of his travels was a very great enrichment of the knowledge of geography and ethnography" Cox II p. 389.<br> Bruce was one of the earliest westerners to search for the source of the Nile. In November of 1770 he reached the source of the Blue Nile and though he acknowledged that the White Nile was the larger stream he claimed that the Blue Nile was the Nile of the ancients and that he was thus the discoverer of its source.<br> The account of his travels was written twelve years after his journey and without reference to his journals which gave critics grounds for disbelief but the substantial accuracy of the book has since been amply demonstrated.<br> James Bruce traveled to Egypt in 1768 accompanied by the Italian artist Luigi Balugani. They spent five years in Upper Egypt Abyssinia and in the exploration of the Nile. With the exception of the French surgeon Poncet no European had visited Abyssinia in over 150 years so Bruce's account was of unique importance in providing valuable information on the region to Europeans. The plates based on his own and Balugani's drawings include maps botanical and zoological specimens antiquities artifacts and plans of monuments.<br> A cornerstone to any collection of Africana this is one of the earliest and greatest illustrated works on the seminal discoveries to be made on the continent over a hundred year period.
