Levant.- Olivier (Guillaume Antoine) Travels in the Ottoman Empire, Egypt, and Persia, 3 vol. in 1 (including Atlas), first English edition, 16 engraved maps and plates only (of 17, as usual), of which 4 folding, half-title to vol. 2 only, vol. 2 lacking title (as often), 'explanation of plates' in manuscript at beginning, odd neat marginal ink note, scattered spotting, occasional faint water-staining, short tear to early blank, ex-library with neat blind-stamp to title, modern morocco backed boards, [this edition not in Atabey or Blackmer], 4to, 1801.

This copy lacks plate 9 as usual, with this note in the plate list, "This plate requiring particular care in the execution, is not yet finished." It seems that this plate was never completed.
