Mendelssohn I. 915 "Lake Shirwa was discovered, on April 18 1859, and on September 16 he arrived at Lake Nyassa about 2 months before Dr. Roscher. The first object of research was the river Zambesi, its mouth and tributaries, with a view of discovering a serviceable water-highway into the interior."

This copy rebound in 3/4 green leather with matching boards, raised bands, red leather spine label. The spine is slightly scuffed where a small label has been removed. A very good copy, tight & clean with no foxing.
