Engraved frontispiece, 32 engraved plates (one hand-colored) , 11 in-text woodcut illustrations (2 plans) , 6 engraved maps (5 full-page, one folding). (Some occasional spotting or offsetting. ) Modern half calf over…green cloth gilt, smooth spine gilt, 3 black morocco lettering-pieces gilt, edges faintly marbled, marbled endsheets (chipping to lettering-piece, some small scuffs). Provenance: W. Conway (signature). FIRST EDITION of important explorations in Africa. The first volume is an official expedition to discover the course of the Niger from the starting point of Tripoli, rather than West Africa. Clapperton and Oudney were the original members of the party, to which Denham was added, but whose "arrogance, malice, and contempt for his colleagues from the start soured relations between them" (DNB). This famous "Bornu Mission" provided the earliest European report on the Central Sudan and Northern Nigeria. From the Mediterranean they reached Murzuk and Bornu on the west of Lake Chad, and eventually Sokota. Failing to ascertain the source and termination of the Niger, Denham explored Lake Chad, and Oudney and Clapperton journeyed westward to the Niger. Clapperton continued alone after Oudney's death at Murmur, reaching Sokota and rejoining Denham at Kuka. On the second expedition Clapperton had been promoted to Commander and was sent back to Sokota to open up trade with the west coast. He died in 1827, having crossed Yoruba Country and the Niger. He was survived by his "servant" Richard Lander who carried on alone. Lander brought Clapperton's journals back to England and wrote the "Life of Clapperton" which appears in this second work. Hilmy, p. 172 (Narrative). Property from the Estate of Professor Ethan D. Alyea, Jr. , Bloomington, Indiana. Modern calf spine backing.
Travels and Discoveries on northern and central Africa in 1822, 1823 and 1824; by . Volume I (of IV).

Presentation copies of this important work are rare with only around twenty thought to exist. Inscribed on the title-page: 'John G. Children Esq FRS / British Museum / with the author's best / wishes / D. Denham', and with the bookplate of Halstead Place, Children's home. John George Children (1777-1852) was a British natural historian who was Keeper of the Zoology Department of the British Museum from 1837 to 1840. In 1833 he was founding president of what became the Royal Entomological Society of London. He was however much more comfortable with mineralogy than zoology: he constructed a large galvanic cell with Sir Humphry Davy in 1813, conducting several experiments, and invented a method to extract silver from ore without the need for mercury in 1824. The official expedition to discover the course of the Niger from the starting point of Tripoli, rather than West Africa. Denham and Clapperton were part of the expedition led by the Scottish doctor Walter Oudney to open relations with the Fulani kingdom, whose legendary trading centre was Kano, in order to discover the source of the Niger, which was widely believed to flow into Lake Chad. Having crossed the Sahara and found no rivers entering Lake Chad, the party divided with Denham exploring the Shari River and Oudney and Clapperton (who shared a mutual loathing of Denham) proceeding to Kano. Oudney died enroute but Clapperton was received by the ruler of Kano, Mohammed Bello who, having first supplied an accurate map of the course of the Niger, later backtracked and supplied a different, more misleading, map when he realised the dangers of opening up his kingdom to foreigners. Clapperton rejoined Denham at Lake Chad and back across the Sahara. Gay 337; Hilmy I, 172; Lowndes I, 629; cf. Playfair, Tripoli, 154 (3rd ed.).

Later calf spine is decorated gilt, but joints are beginning to split. xlviii, 335, 272pp. London, On their meeting in Edinburgh "Oudney turned Clapperton's thoughts to African discovery. Lord Bathurst, then colonial secretary, appointed Oudney consul of Bornu, and employed Clapperton to accompany him in a journey to Central Africa. Major Dixon Denham [q.v.] volunteered to accompany the travellers from Tripoli to Timbuctoo. Proceeding south from the Mediterranean early in 1822 the travellers reached Murzuk, and by way of Musfeia and Zangalia arrived at Kuka in the kingdom of Bornu, on the west of Lake Tchad. Thence after great suffering they reached Sokota. They failed to ascertain the source and termination of the Niger, but determined the positions of the kingdoms of Mandara, Bornu, and Houssa, and their chief towns; while Denham, after some other movements, explored Lake Tchad. Clapperton and Oudney journeyed westward to the Niger. At Murmur in January 1824 Oudney died and was buried by his friend. Clapperton proceeded alone to Kano, capital of Houssa, and to Sokota, the extreme point of the expedition in that direction. Although but five days' journey from the Niger, he was not allowed by the sultan to proceed westward. On 4 May he started on his return, was rejoined by Denham at Kuka, and reached Tripoli in January 1825, and England on 1 June" (DNB). This is as fine a copy as we have seen of this standard work; from the Earl of Derby's library with his bookplate. Copies are most unusual with plates printed on India paper.
