About This Book
The account retraces eighteenth-century routes across Algeria and Tunis, pairing travel narrative with facsimiles of earlier topographical drawings and maps. It records journeys between coastal towns and inland sites, noting roads, settlements, natural features, and observations on local governance and travel conditions. The focus is archaeological and architectural, with detailed descriptions, plans, and illustrations of aqueducts, amphitheatres, temples, arches, and mausoleums that reveal Roman and indigenous monuments. Scattered geographical notes, route itineraries, and reflections on landscape, resources, and the practical difficulties of travel complete the picture.
