Authored as a rebuttal to James Wellsted’s published accounts of his surveys, that criticized the accuracy of Lord Valentia’s work in the Red Sea. He argued that Wellsted’s criticisms were unfounded and used “comparative diagrams” to demonstrate that Bruce’s geographical claims—which Wellsted supported—were actually “inventions” or inaccuracies. 17 pages of text and 7 full page engraved maps. Some light foxing. First edition. Condition: Good. Binding: Hardcover. Some wear to the binding.
