About This Item

London, 1816. First edition 4to, pp.xiii, 370, 5 hand coloured plates, folding map. A very good copy bound in contemporary half calf, marbled boards. Spine rubbed, one corner bumped. '[This] work is particularly valuable for its details of family life in the seraglio. The female members of Tully's family were on intimate terms with the Bashaw's family and were admitted into all the life of the seraglio. One of the most important records of Tripolitan life during the 18th century' (Blackmer 1682). Abbey Travel 299; see Blackmer 1682
