Penzer (N.M.) An Annotated Bibliography of Sir Richard Francis Burton (1923), pages 54/55, \'The preface to the third edition is reproduced, besides a new preface by Lady Burton. The coloured map is from that used in the third edition. Volume II contains eight appendices. It will thus be seen that this edition is very complete, as it has the various appendices from all the past editions. There is also a full index (pages 415 - 479). As in the second edition, there are thirty-four chapters instead of the original thirty-five, owing to two being made appendices, \"The Damascus Caravan\" being numbered as a separate chapter.\'
