8vo, pp. ccxxiv, 464, 6 (ads); large folding map; original blue printed wrappers bound in at the back, later half brown morocco, gilt lettered direct on gilt-paneled spine, t.e.g.; some scuffing, but very good. After the preliminaries, the entire text is devoted to Burton's account. Penzer, p. 201: "The long article which occupies nearly the complete volume, was also issued as a paper-covered book with a title-page of its own. It was in reality an offprint. It had the map, but no index." Casada 126.
