1807réf. 029967Paris: Chez Courcier 1807. Octavo. Fourth edition. In two volumes: Vol. I x 487 pages 1 p. advertisement and Vol. II 492 pages half-titles present in both volumes printed on laid paper with each map and image on very thick paper to enhance the preservation. The French academic philosophers of the late 18th century found that with advances in mathematics geodesy and field mapping previous works were limited for serious work. Comte de Volney 1757-1820 was a French orientalist whose study was impressive though he himself was not considered at the time a geographer. However modern geographers realize his work was closer to modern methods than his contemporaries see Anne Godlewska on Modern French Discipline of Geography p. 192-193. Originally published in 1787 this set produces not only the images of The Spinx the Pyramids of Giza Balbek and the Ruins of Palmyre but also the maps of Syria Egypt and of North Africa and the folding plan of the Temple of Balbet. Bound 1/4 red leather over red paper covered boards spine lettered and decorated in gilt all edges marbled with matching endpapers boards rubbed light wear to corners. A very good set.
