DENHAM, Dixon (1786-1828), Hugh CLAPPERTON and Walter OUDNEY. Narrative of Travels and Discoveries in Northern and Central Africa, in the years 1822-1824 ... second edition. London: John Murray, 1826. 2 vols., 8° (210 x 129mm), 12 engraved plates, one coloured, 3 maps, one folding and 2 double-page. (Offsetting to titles, spotting to plates and occasionally to text, coloured plate with marginal stain.) Contemporary red straight-grained morocco gilt, gilt edges (rubbed, slight staining to upper cover of vol. II). Provenance: Nicholas Toke (armorial bookplate). Denham travelled across the Sahara to Bornu with his two co-authors. His book 'provided a wealth of new material on the African interior' but the estrangement between Denham and Clapperton meant that it read 'as though Denham was travelling alone'. Howgego Exploration 1800 to 1850, D-18.
