Africa.- Tully (Richard) Narrative of a Ten Years' Residence at Tripoli in Africa, second edition, frontispiece, map, and 6 plates, most hand-coloured, library stamp of King's Inn Library, Dublin on title verso and final page, occasional light offsetting or spotting, contemporary calf, rebacked and recornered with red morocco spine label, large 4to, [Abbey, Travel 301; Tooley 493], for Henry Colburn, 1817.
⁂ The plates mainly depict customs, antiquities, and the manners & architecture of the region. The work is ostensibly a collection of letters written by Miss Tully, sister-in-law of Richard Tully, British Consul in Tripoli; it is arguably one of the most valuable sources of information on Tripoli and the region of the early 19th century.
