Zustand: Very Good. 27 pages. This retrospective essay revisits William Lithgow's Totall Discourse of 1640 - a sprawling, eccentric record of nineteen years spent roaming through Europe, Asia, and Africa. The reviewer delights in Lithgow's blend of vivid observation, moralising digression, and unabashed self-drama, tracing his progress from Scottish beginnings through Italy, Venice, Dalmatia, the Levant, and beyond. Particular attention is given to his encounters with local customs, religious rites, and the ââ Å"rare adventuresââ  that punctuate his narrative, culminating in the harrowing account of his torture by the Inquisition at Malaga and his improbable escape. The article treats Lithgow as both witness and performer: a traveller whose sharp eye, strong prejudices, and inexhaustible stamina make his book a curious but compelling window onto the early seventeenth-century world.

Overall an excellent copy. ~ FIRST EDITION. Schumacher was the first explorer to survey the region lying between Damascus and Haifa. His minute and thorough scientific observations, notes, maps, drawings, and sketches were prepared for publication at the request of the Palestine Exploration Fund by his friend, the explorer Guy le Strange. They were published here for the first time. The papers of le Strange and Laurence Oliphant, "A Ride Through Ajlun and the Belka During the Autumn of 1884," and "A Trip to the North-East of Lake Tiberias, in Jaulan," respectively, were published before but appear here for the first time in a book form. Gottlieb Schumacher (1857) settled at a very young age with his family in Haifa, where his father, a member of the "Temple Association" designed most of the buildings of the German Colony. Following the completion of his engineering studies in Stuttgart, he returned to Haifa and was appointed Chief Engineer for the Province of Akko. He designed many buildings and was a leading figure in civil engineering. One of his most important projects was the survey of the Golan, Hauran, and the Ajlun districts in preparation for the construction of the Damascus-Haifa railway. In the course of this survey he produced the first accurate maps of these regions, along with detailed descriptions of the archaeological remains and the present villages. He published many other reports and books on his discoveries, supported by the Palestine Exploration Fund. With the outbreak of World War I the Templar community left for Germany. Schumacher returned in 1924 to his home on the Carmel, where he died a year later. Although he was born in Ohio, U.S.A., Gottlieb was brought-up and educated as a German. "I beg to throw myself on the indulgence of my readers for the defects of style," he once wrote, "for my work has been perforce written in a language which, though familiar to me, is not my own."
