Spotting and foxing, some plates browned. First edition of one of the best travel accounts of Africa. Bruce's accounts are so full of extraordinary events that they often seem like novels. However, the accuracy of several facts that were initially disputed has since been recognized. James Bruce (1730-1794), Scottish explorer and geographer, contributed greatly to the enrichment of geographical knowledge of northern Africa. He also added greatly to our knowledge of the geography of Abyssinia, but he did not, as he believed during his exploration, discover the source of the real Nile; he only went as far as the source of the Nahr-el-Azrek, one of the river's main tributaries.
