PARK, Mungo (1771-1806). Travels in the Interior Districts of Africa performed under the direction and patronage of the African Association in the years 1795, 1796, and 1797. London: W. Bulmer and Co. for the author, and sold by C. and W. Nicol, 1799.
4o (262 x 203 mm). Engraved portrait frontispiece by T. Dickinson after H. Edridge, 5 engraved plates, 3 folding maps, one hand-colored in outline, and 2 leaves of engraved music (scattered light foxing and offsetting). Contemporary calf (rebacked). Provenance: Earl of Dalhousie (bookplate).
Second edition of this great classic of travel literature which became so immediately popular that three editions were published in 1799. His narrative of the journey forms both a great travel book and a work which is valued "for its scientific obervations on the botany and meteorology of the region, and on the social and domestic life of the negroes." See PMM 253.
