| Meer info | Although a Second Edition and so marked at foot of spine, this copy is in the first edition binding with bevelled edges, gilt-lettered cover and gilt-ruled spine. Burton was hopeful he could find gold in NW Arabia for the Khedive of Egypt. This short trip led to a longer exploration the next year, and the two volume work, The Land of Midian. Unfortunately, no gold was found, but this remains a sequel to his first Arabia venture, Pilgrimage to El-Medinah and Meccah This edition is published the same year as the first and textually is nearly identic. Spine sunned/discoloured. |
