L’opera di Bruce, suddivisa in 9 libri, tratta di: 1°. “Chypre, Alexandrie, Rosette, le Caire” - 2°. “Histoire des premiers temps, premiers peuples d’Abyssinie et d’ Atbara, Origine de leur langue” - 3°. “L’histoire des Abyssiniens, depuis le rétablissement de la lignée de Salomon jusqu’à la mort de Socinios” - 4°. “Continuation de l’histoire des Abyssiniens jusqu’à la fin du XVIII siècle” - 5°. “Route de Masuah à Gondar” - 6°. “Première tentative pour découvrir les sources du Nil” - 7°. “Retour des Sources du Nil à Gondar, bataille de Serbraxos” - 8°. “Retour par le Sennaar, la Nubie et le grand Desert.

Al verso del frontespizio dell’opera di Paterson - pubblicata nel 5° volume di Bruce - così scrivono gli editori: “Nous avons mis les "Voyages" du Lieutenant Paterson à la suite de ceux de M. Bruce, parce qu’ils contiennent des notions nouvelles sur l’Afrique, & que nous nous proposons de publier, dans le meme format, tout ce qui pourra faire bien connoitre cette intéressante partie du Monde”. La relazione di William Paterson (1755-1810), esploratore e botanico scozzese, contiene: “Premier et second voyage dans le pays des Hottentots, troisième voyage dans le pays de Caffres, quatrième voyage dans le pays des Nimiquois. Appendix: poisons tirés du règne animal et végétal, Observations athmosphériques, faites pendant le second voyage de M. Paterson, depuis le 22 Mai jusqu’au 18 Novembre 1778”. "Prima edizione francese" - contemporanea alla prima di Edimburgo, 1790 (dell’opera di Bruce). Cfr. Choix de Olschki, I,1154: “Les voyages de Paterson sont d’un spécial intéret, parce qu’ils traitent les pays des "Cafres" et des "Hottentots, le Transvaal d’aujourd’hui"” - Dawson and Uphill “Who’s who in Egyptology”, p. 41 - Gay “Bibliogr. des ouvrages relatifs a l’Afrique et a l’Arabie”, 44 e 3122 (per Paterson). “James Bruce (173-1794), scozzese, esploratore, medico e cultore di problemi africani; visitò la Penisola Iberica e l’Africa settentr., partì per l’Etiopia (1769), raggiungendo, per l’Eritrea e il Semien, Gondar e quindi il lago Tana e le sorgenti del Nilo Azzurro, ancora ignote. Nel viaggio di ritorno per terra, da Gondar all’Egitto, attraversò il Sennar e la Nubia (1773). La voluminosa relazione del suo memorabile viaggio, che nonostante alcune fantasticherie si può dire inizi la serie delle moderne esplorazioni scientifiche in Africa, fu pubblicata parecchi anni dopo il suo ritorno (Edimburgo, 1790) e più volte poi ristampata e tradotta”. Così Diz. Treccani,II, p. 511. Esemplare con qualche lieve fiorit. o arross., altrimenti ben conservato, intonso e con barbe.

Fratelli Treves Editore, Milano, 1872. Seconda edizione italiana. “Biblioteca di viaggi”, II. Con 18 incisioni e la carta geografica dell'Abissinia. In 8vo, pp. 75, xil. in b/n n. t. + 1 carte rip. f. t., leg. edit. in tela verde color vinaccia con impressioni in oro a secco. Il resoconto dei fatti che diedero vita al conflitto che si concluse con il suicidio del re Teodoro. Tra il 1755 e il 1855, l'Etiopia visse un periodo di isolamento noto "Era dei Principi". Gli imperatori divennero mere figure di facciata, controllate da capi militari e da dinastie. L'isolamento etiope terminò in seguito a una missione britannica che comportò l'alleanza tra le due nazioni, ma solo nel 1855 l'Etiopia fu completamente unificata e posta sotto il governo dell'imperatore Teodoro II, che iniziò a modernizzare il paese e a centralizzare il potere. Tuttavia l'impero fu attaccato in numerose occasioni, sia da parte di milizie e ribelli locali, sia dall' Impero Ottomano e dalle forze egiziane nei pressi del Mar Rosso. Teodoro II, fortemente indebolito nel potere, si suicidò nel 1868 dopo la sua ultima battaglia contro un corpo di spedizione britannico. Segni del tempo alla legatura, dorso ricostruito, uniforme marcato ingiallimento ma buono l'interno.
