Facsimile reproduction of first edition of 1836, with a new introduction. xvi, 204pp. In burgundy cloth boards with gilt titles on spine. Green endpapers. 8vo. Cloth very slightly rubbed at spine base. Internally neat, clean, bright and tight. In its original dust jacket, a little bumped at edges. From 1809, Fatella Sayeghir accompanied, or claimed to have done so, Napoleon’s secret agent on an extended mission among the Bedouin tribes of Mespotamia and the Euphrates Valley. Lascades died before he could share the information he gathered with Napoleon and the notes he left were allegedly destroyed by the British, but a French orientalist acquired Sayghir’s diary and writings and published it in 1835/1836.
