London: J. M. Dent and Sons, [1910]. First edition. Cloth. Very Good Indeed. 7" by 4.5". None . A lovely copy of the uncommon first impression of the Everyman's Library edition of this travelogue of Africa by Richard F. Burton. The uncommon first 'Everyman's Library' impression of this work by Richard F. Burton, originally published in 1856. In the 'Travel' series, edited by Ernest Rhys, No. 500. With an introduction by Henry W. Nevinson. This volume can be found in two variant bindings, this being the full cloth binding with flat back and coloured top, the other leather, round corners, gilt top. A travelogue narrating of Burton's first expedition into Somalia, with the purpose to explore the forbidden Moslem city of Harar as well as gather information on the headwaters of the Nile. An excellent work with decorative title page and frontispiece. The undated first impression in the series with no edition remarks. An uncommon volume. In the original publisher's full cloth binding. Externally very smart with minor shelf wear and a minor bumping to the head and tail of the spine, general light soiling. Internally, firmly bound. The pages are bright and clean. Very Good Indeed
