Some light browning, marbled e.ps., bound by Bumpus in half calf with marbled boards, spines faded and sl. rubbed and marked. ¶ First published in 1844, a journey Kinglake made about ten years earlier in Syria, Palestine and Egypt, together with his Eton contemporary Lord Pollington. "In truth though the book was rather absurdly compared with the ordinary records of travel, it is more akin to Sterne’s ‘Sentimental Journey’, and is a delightful record of personal impressions rather than outward facts."
