Cox and Sons, 1839. 4to, pp. [8], 213; engraved frontispiece, 2 other engraved plates; original brown cloth lettered in gilt on the upper cover and spine; covers dampstained, and the yellow-coated endpapers possibly renewed; all else very good and sound. The book was posthumously published. Having previously travelled in Italy, Poland, Russia, Arabia, Palestine, Syria, Canada and the United States, Davidson (1797-1836) visited Fez and Marrakesh in Morocco, and was on his way to Timbuktu when he was ambushed, robbed, and shot dead.

The interesting appendix contains extracts from letters written by Davidson and others to the Royal Geographical Society various locations in Morocco and the Sahara.
