Edition originale
Ex-library copy. Presumed British first edition (not stated). Collates as [frontis portrait], [4], 1-228, [plate], 229-270, [plate], 271-328, [plate], 329-420, [plate], 421-522, [foldout b/w "Map of the Course of the Nile and the Adjacent Countries"]. Hardcover: H 19.25cm x L 12.5cm. Contemporary half-leather binding - leather spine and marbled paper boards with leather corners. Spine abraded with remnant library paper label at enter and library name stamped in gilt near heel; boards well rubbed with corners worn. Library explanatory loan/fine bookplate on front pastedown; several library blind-stamps at tops of frontis, title leaf, and plates. Varied moisture stains, some soiling, and slender margin toning throughout. Binding shaken between pages 218-219 with other lesser stress points but all holding. A fair copy by the popular and prolific 19th century American poet, literary critic, and travel author. Slender dark blue ribbon page marker (apparently original and once sewn-in to the book) but now laid-in between pages 288-289. OCLC cites an 1854 American edition published by G.P. Putnam & Co. under the altered title "A Journey to Central Africa, or Life and Landscapes from Egypt to the Negro Kingdoms of the White Nile" but OCLC does not cite any preceding editions (but plenty of later ones). The book was not issued with a specific illustration list page but four tinted plates plus frontis (sans tissue guard sheets) and map were all that were included in the American edition so presumably this British edition is complete as well.

Edition originale
Hardcover. Etat : Fair. vi, [2], 294, [2] pages. Frontis illustration. Illustrations. Occasional footnotes. Stamp of previous owner's/private library on fep. From the collection of Dr. J. E. Gross!!! Hinges have some weakness. Cover has some wear and soiling. This is one of the Illustrated Library of Travel. This may be the preferred edition. Bayard Taylor (January 11, 1825 - December 19, 1878) was an American poet, literary critic, translator, travel author, and diplomat. In 1848, Horace Greeley, editor of the New York Tribune, hired Taylor and sent him to California to report on the gold rush. He returned by way of Mexico and published a two-volume collection of travel essays, El Dorado; or, Adventures in the Path of Empire (1850). Within two weeks of release, the books sold 10,000 copies in the U.S. and 30,000 in Great Britain. In 1849, Taylor won a popular competition sponsored by P. T. Barnum to write an ode for the "Swedish Nightingale", singer Jenny Lind. His poem "Greetings to America" was set to music by Julius Benedict and performed by the singer at numerous concerts on her tour of the United States. In 1862, he was appointed to the U.S. diplomatic service as secretary of legation at St. Petersburg,[10] and acting minister to Russia for a time during 1862-3 after the resignation of Ambassador Simon Cameron. On July 4, 1876, at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia, Bayard recited his National Ode to an enthusiastic crowd of more than four thousand, the largest audience for a poetry reading in the United States to that date and a record which stood until 1961. Taylor's travel writings were widely quoted by congressmen. Thomas Stevens (24 December 1854- 24 January 1935) was the first person to circle the globe by bicycle. He rode a large-wheeled Ordinary, also known as a penny-farthing, from April 1884 to December 1886. He was helped by an interpreter at the Chinese embassy in London, who discouraged him from riding across Upper Burma and China. This experience contributed to his being engaged to revise Bayard Taylor's famous work. In revising Mr. Taylor's work great care had been taken to make no alterations beyond those made necessary by recent political changes and the developments of time and progress. The chapter XIX, Across Thibet has been added. Revised Edition. Presumed first printing thus.
