Contemporary gift inscription on front free endpaper. A pristine, beautiful copy. First American edition, after the London edition of the previous year.

Commanding a force of more than 1500 Egyptian troops, Baker served for four years. "This work by the celebrated traveller and sportsman describes his extremely difficult journey to, and administration in, the Sudan. He was the first Englishman to take high office under the Egyptian government. Although well-equipped and accompanied by a substantial number of troops, he had to contend with the hostility of the slave- traders (who fought several pitched battles against him) as well as that of the terrain" - Blackmer…

Description:
Boston: S. Hal, 1794. 92,[2]pp. Original half calf and boards. Joints cracked, head of spine chipped. Circulating library rules pasted to front cover. Internally clean. Very good. The second American appearance of this famous narrative, preceded by a Boston edition of 1751. Translated by William Crashaw from GALEACCI CARACCIOLI, itself a translation of Balbani's HISTORIA DELLA VITA DI GALEAZZO CARACCIOLI. Caraccioli, a 16th-century Marquis de Vico, became an icon during the Reformation and subsequent religious conflicts, and his story was often repeated as an example of one shaking off the shackles of the corrupt Church of Rome for the new, more pure, religion. The final leaf contains a series of interesting bookseller's advertisements, offering a variety of late 18th-century self-help books. This copy is interesting for having the printed broadside rules of the Troy, New York circulating library pasted to the front board. Subscription for a year cost three dollars, with rates for borrowing…
