Bound without half-titles as often the case, engraved title vignettes, engraved arms on dedication leaf in first volume.Bruce, James, of Kinnaird (1730-1794), African traveller, only started writing his account twelve years after returning from that continent. “Anxious to emulate the form of James Cook’s Voyage to the Pacific Ocean (one of the best-selling travel books of the century), Bruce published his 3000-page Travels to Discover the Source of the Nile in five quarto volumes in 1790.It was immensely successful, most of the original edition being sold to retail booksellers within thirty-two hours, and was rapidly translated into French and German.” - DNB.Despite favourable reviews Bruce’s reputation was widely impugned at the time by among others Samuel Johnson; however later nineteenth century travellers largely verified his accounts.The spines rebacked in dark brown calf ruled and lettered in gilt, recornered, very occasional light foxing and browning, the marbled paper on the boards a little rubbed, with the contemporary armorial bookplate of B.A.Heywood, Esq. , a very nice clean set of the first edition in a contemporary half calf.

Geddes takes as his theme the fact that the Ethiopian Church had historically never been subject to the Church of Rome yet the Portuguese had brought with them Jesuit missionaries who tried unsuccessfully to convert the Ethiopians.This work was compiled from numerous Portuguese authorities acquired while Geddes spent nine years at Lisbon; and the fact that the Ethiopians resisted the Catholic missionaries was a source of immense satisfaction to the author.Inscription to head of title page, name removed from head of A3, occasional worming in margins, not affecting the text, Contemporary Cambridge style calf with a recent reback in matching calf re-using the original red leather label, a very nice copy with the armorial bookplate of James Whatman.The inscription reads “This book I give to Sarah”.James Whatman the famous English papermaker married Sarah Stanley in 1762. £ 950.00 - Churches
