CAILLIE, RENE. Travels Through Central Africa to Timbuctoo; and Across the Great Desert, to Morocco, Performed in the Years 1824-1828. In Two Volumes. First English edition. 8vo (9 1/8" x 5 6/8"). Cloth-backed plain boards with paper labels. Vol. I with engraved frontispiece and foldout illustration; Vol. II with two foldout maps near front. Good; the boards have edge and corner wear, fading and soiling, some dampstains, wear/losses to ends of spines, creases to paper labels. Old tape repairs to inner hinges, foxing/toning mostly to first and last few pages, a 1-in. tear in Vol. II table of contents, and occasional tiny edge tears. There are some tears along the map folds, but overall they look good.
