Summary: The importunes of Hamilton's account of his experiences in the East (1688-1723) is shown by the fact that one can scarcely find a modern work dealing with the history of the geography of Asia for that period which does not contain references to his book. As regards the present issue. the text adopted is that of the first edition (1727). and the only alterations are those in the case of obvious misprints. such as transposed letters. All the original illustrations have been reproduced. though in some cases on a reduced scale. Notes have been put at the end of each volume.ISBN: 9060721136. Weight in Kg appr.:
