First edition. Quarto (29.5 x 23cm). 'A valuable accompaniment to the travels of the amiable and accomplished Dr. Clarke, edited by his friend Rev. Wm. Otter.'- Lowndes. 'Clarke is essentailly a satellite figure in science in that he made no notable discovery, but he did make a significant contemporary impact by his teaching of mineralogy in terms of crystallography and the new chemistry, by the topographical geology and volcanic observations in his Travels, and by his enthusiasm which fired the interest of contemporaries and undergraduates in minerals and in scientific fieldwork generally.'- DSB. pp. x,[2],670. Frontispiece portrait after Opie, which is a little foxed. Untrimmed in the original publisher's boards, which are slighty worn, neatly rebacked to style with label.
