This four-volume collection was issued by the Paris publisher Furne
in the mid-nineteenth century to showcase the work of recent French
explorers for a readership avid for accounts of exotic foreign
lands. Volume 4 was prepared by Alfred Jacobs (1802 62), an
archivist and palaeographer, drawing heavily on an 1839 publication
by Jean-Baptiste Benoit Eyri s (1767 1846). Eyri s was a founder
member of the French Geographical Society and a member of the
Asiatic Society, trained in botany and mineralogy, an accomplished
linguist and seasoned traveller, who wrote, edited and translated a
substantial number of works on geography, travel and exploration.
Like earlier volumes in Furne's collection, this account of Asia
and Africa takes the form of a fictionalised journey, making use of
a wide range of additional sources to give readers as complete a
picture as possible. This 1859 edition is illustrated with
twenty-two engravings.
