In the lower margin has been inked "Tickets sold at the Book Store of Mr Bolles Steam Boat Hotel & at the doors". 18" x 12" <br/><br/>"Petra is a historical and archaeological city in southern Jordan. Petra declined rapidly under Roman rule in large part from the revision of sea-based trade routes. In 363 an earthquake destroyed many buildings and crippled the vital water management system. In the 12th century the Crusaders built fortresses but left after a while. As a result Petra was forgotten for the Western world until the 19th century. The first European to describe them the ruins was Swiss traveller Johann Ludwig Burckhardt during his travels in 1812. The Scottish painter David Roberts visited Petra in 1839 and returned to England with sketches ." Wiki In this advertisement "Mr Swift" announces "a course of 2 lectures in the New London Court House in this place commencing Wednesday evening April 14th upon PETRA or The Excavated City". He exclaims that the lecture will be accompanied by "Seventeen large and beautifully executed paintings representing the present condition of these wonderful and justly celebrated cities." The broadside then goes on to describe in detail the subject of each of the 17 paintings. He concludes by asserting "The views exhibited are real Paintings --- not Magic Lantern illusions." No doubt this Mr Smith was riding the coattails of Roberts' sketches. one wonders where today might be found those paintings. And if no longer extant here we document their onetime existence. As an aside it should be noted that Eli Smith had a bit of a brouhaha with one J. S. Buckingham who also published some text on Petra of which Smith felt there were inaccuracies and so published same. The contretemps resulting in Buckingham publishing an 1840 pamphlet documenting the correspondence between the two: PUBLIC ADDRESS DELIVERED BY MR. BUCKINGHAM In DEFENSE Of His LECTURES On PALESTINE AGAINST The CRITICISMS Of The REV. ELI SMITH PUBLISHED ANONYMOUSLY In The NEW YORK OBSERVER In 1839. No copies of this broadside found on OCLC.

Very Good French Contemporary quarter leather bindings. 4to. (28 x 22 cm). In French, Arabic, Persian, and Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). 3 volumes set: (992 p.; 659 p.; 806 p.). Slight wear and fading on bindings and spines, stains on pages. Overall a good set. First and only edition of this early comprehensive dictionary between multiple Eastern languages of Arabic, Persian and Ottoman Turkish, and French. Handjeri (Hangerli) had begun work on the volumes as early as 1806, upon the request of Armand Charles Guilleminot (1774-1840), a French general during the Napoleonic wars, later ambassador to the Sublime Porte and awarded the Order of St. Anna. He completed the book in 1840 and dedicated it to the Russian Tsar Nicolas I, who had it published at the Russian Imperial press. In the preface of his work, Alexandre Handjeri states that he tried to enrich his dictionary with artistic and technical terms in order to be useful to the travelers and merchants as well as the poets and that his book has distinctive features from previous dictionaries such as Meninsky's dictionary. The book, which was sent to Istanbul for the review of the printing sample, was introduced in Takvîm-i Vekâyi [i.e. the first newspaper published in the Imperial Ottoman] before the first volume was published. Ottoman Sultan Abdülmecid ordered 200 copies in his own name, and also sent a jewel-decorated box to Handjéri as a gift for his service to the Turkish language and culture when the work is published. Handjeri was born in Constantinople, received a thorough education, trained to speak several European languages, as well as Ottoman Turkish and Arabic, and prepared for a high-ranking position in the Danubian Principalities. In his twenties, he married a princess of the Callimachi family. Although coming into conflict with Ottoman officials on several occasions, Handjeri was promoted to the Dragoman of the Porte in 1805 and he maintained the office for the following two years until Sultan Selim III appointed him Prince of Moldavia in place of the deposed Alexander Mourousis. He was nevertheless prevented from reaching his court in Iashi by the Russian occupation of the country, and instead followed the Ottoman Army in their offensive. He was able to gain his throne after the Treaty of Bucharest and played a major part in re-establishing the country's administration. Upon the outbreak of the Greek War of Independence, Handjeri felt threatened by a possible Ottoman move against the Phanariotes. He was allegedly warned by the Russian ambassador to the Porte, Alexander Grigoriyevich Stroganov, that, as a prominent Greek in Istanbul, he risked being assassinated, and so he decided to flee the country. Handjeri and his family (including his two sons, Gregory and Telemach), embarked on a small ship and set sail across the Black Sea, dropping anchor at Odesa (where they were given asylum by Novorossiya's governor, Alexandre Langeron). Soon he moved to Moscow, where he was awarded honors by Emperor Nicolas I. His title was recognized by Russian nobility, and his two sons were appointed Counselors. (Source: Wikipedia).
