Interiors very well-preserved with some spotting confined to prelims and a small tear to vol. II rear map. Without previous ownership markings. Scarce thus. Notes: Rare first edition and an uncommonly well-preserved copy of Josias Leslie Porter's first book on the Middle East. Porter was a renowned Irish Presbyterian minister, missionary and traveller, who became an academic administrator. Sent to Damascus as a missionary in the mid nineteenth century, Porter recorded his life in the city in this work, as well as his journeys to destinations including Palmyra, the Hauran, and Lebanon. Providing a fascinating account of the history, topography, and antiquities of the city. The many plates are after Porter's own drawings and from photographs taken by James Graham, Porter also constructed the map, and the plan of Damascus. [Blackmer 1333; Creswell 396; Rohricht 2407].…
