ADDISON, CHARLES GREENSTREET. Damascus and Palmyra: A Journey to the East. With a Sketch of the State and Prospects of Syria, under Ibrahim Pasha. 10 hand-colored lithographed plates after drawings by William Makepeace Thackeray. Half-titles. 2 volumes. 8vo, 1/2 morocco by Riviere, spines (slightly faded) attractively gilt with floral design. London, 1838
- Notes: first edition; issue with 10 (instead of 18) plates. "Addison travelled to Constantinople, in Syria, and through the Greek islands to Rhodes. He seems to have been something of a xenophobe; certainly, he is highly critical of the Bavarian 'misrule of Greece' and expresses strong anti-Syrian sentiment in his introduction"--Blackmer sale 357. Van Duzer 47.
