About This Book
A detailed account of Morocco and neighbouring districts drawn from prolonged residence and travel, combining geographic description, maps, and engravings with observations on government, revenue, justice, and local administration. Ethnographic passages examine customs, languages, education, family life, and responses to disease, while natural history and economic activity receive attention. Practical maritime material includes cautions to navigators and reports of shipwrecks along the western African coast. An appended section surveys the commerce, laws, and manufactures linked to Timbuktu and supplies translated Arabic letters for comparative linguistic study.
