Half title in each volume. Scattered foxing in all volumes, text generally clean. Complete with 58 copper engraved plates, and 3 large fold-out maps of Eastern Africa and Lake Tzana.

Fold-out maps with light foxing and transference, archival tissue repair to map of Eastern Africa, solid hinges. (Blackmer, 221) (Nissen ZBI, 617) An attractive set. Following the first English edition published the same year, this extra-illustrated edition of James Bruce's Travels To Discover The Source Of The Nile is the more desirable edition. James Bruce (1730-1794) mounted an expedition to Africa in 1768 and offers eyewitness accounts of Ethiopian culture, descriptions of his travels in Eastern Africa and his quest to find the source of the Nile River. A "new edition" was published by Alexander Murray in 1813, who added appendices and substantial detail to Bruce's account of the journey.

Description
Boston: J. & T. Fleet, 1802. Good.. Lovely chapbook edition of a selection of Isaac Watts's hymns, bound in an attractive vernacular wallpaper wrapper. Just because this edition of Watts's hymns adapted for a young audience was made to be inexpensive didn't mean it had to be unattractive. At least, that's what an early owner seemed to be thinking when they added a wrapper of blue and green wallpaper, with a floral design skillfully centered on the front cover. A lovely example of the early 19th century American propensity to use materials efficiently, and a peek into the interior of a well-to-do house of the period. 6.25'' x 3.25''. Early vernacular stiff wrappers of blue and green floral wallpaper. 44 pages, lacking front and rear blanks and leaf C4; bottom 2/3 of leaves B3 and B4 perished. Wrapper with might rubbing and soil, mild edgewear. Leaves with toning and scattered soil, some edgewear; wallpaper offsetting a bit to first and final pages. Sound.
