'The material he collected constitutes a mine of original research which is still, in many respects, the standard work on the subjects he covered' (The Geographical Journal132:1, March 1966, p. 73). Born in Hamburg, Heinrich Barth (1821-1865) studied history, archaeology, geography and Arabic, and was fluent in several European languages. In 1849, he joined the explorer James Richardson and the geologist Adolf Overweg on a British-sponsored expedition to what is now central West Africa, a mission which aimed to open the interior to trade and to study the slave trade. Despite ill health and the loss of both his colleagues, Barth travelled for five years before his return, laying down accurate routes, discovering the Benue River (the major tributary of the Niger River), and recording kingdoms that were previously unknown to Europeans. Barth was the first European to use the oral traditions of the local tribes for historical research, learning several African languages, and studying the history, resources and civilisations of the people he encountered, as well as recording information about foodstuffs and market goods, local economies and systems of government. A fluent English speaker, Barth wrote Travels and Discoveries as an original English work and simultaneously produced an account of his African exploration in German (Reisen und Entdeckungen in Nord und Central Africa in den Jahren 1849-1855, Gotha, 1857-8), the former not being a translation of the latter. Travels and Discoveries remains one of the most comprehensive works on central Africa, and, despite receiving recognition from his peers across Europe, his work never received the public appreciation in Britain that it deserved during his lifetime. The length and density of Barth's work some 3500 pages of closely-observed nature, culture and ethnography failed to suit the tastes of the British public, and, although he managed to accomplish one of the greatest expeditions of the nineteenth century which was lauded in his native Germany, the British preferred their heroes home-grown and the book failed to achieve the popular acclaim that Livingstone and Stanley created.Abbey, Travel in aquatint and lithography, 274; Ibrahim-Hilmy I, p. 53.

First editions throughout. 5 vols. 15 folding maps & 53 tinted lithograph plates. 8vo. Original green cloth, gilt, inside joints repaired discreetly xxxvi, 578, [24]ads.; xi, 676; xi, 635; xiv, 641, [24]ads.; xii, 694pp. London, Longman, A very good set. Barth made his name both as a traveller and historian. In 1850 he joined James Richardson's expedition to Lake Chad. Departing from Tripoli, this was one of several expeditions designed to disrupt the slave trade by way of promoting legitimate commerce. On Richardson's death in March 1851, Barth assumed leadership of the expedition and became the first European to visit Adamawa. Including notes on economics, linguistics, topography and cultural history, his account is of a much greater scope than many traveller's accounts produced in the era. Abbey Travel 274. Gay 207.

Erstausgabe
First Edition in English. Five uniform octavo volumes (23cm). In the publisher's deep green grain-patterned cloth, blind-embossed on covers, titled in gilt on spines; printed terra-cotta endpapers; xxxvi, 578, [24]ads.; xi, 676; xi, 635; xiv, 641, [24]ads.; xii, 694pp; text illus; fifteen folding maps; one folding woodcut; 60 inserted leaves of lithographic plates after J.M. Bernatz, all tinted. Binder's ticket (Westley's) at base of rear pastedown in first volume. A superb set in the scarce original cloth, with expert repairs to hinges on three volumes and some inconspicuous strengthening to cloth at crown of volume I; complete and quite fresh internally, with the plates vivid and free of foxing or soil; Very Good or better. Printed front and rear endpapers contain publisher's advertisements, including full-page ad for M'Clure's "Discovery of the North-West Passage" on rear pastedown of vols I & II. Engraved bookplate of C.G. Hodgson, Sydney, to the first two volumes. "One of the greatest of all travel narratives, rich in meticulous detail and exceptional for its accuracy, it survives as a major source book for the history and geography of sub-Saharan West Africa" (HOWGEGO IV:62). Barth also devoted considerable attention to the contemporary West African slave trade, noting in his Preface: ".There can be no doubt that the most horrible topic connected with slavery is slave-hunting.hence it was necessary that I should become acquainted with the real state of these most important features of African society, in order to speak clearly about them.I shall be able, in the third volulme of my narrative, to lay before the public.the domestic happiness of a considerable portion of the human race.as well as the wanton and cruel manner in which this happiness is destroyed, and its peaceful abodes changed into desolation." There is some question whether the work was first published in German or English; Howgego asserts the latter; Abbey claims that this "is a translation from the German edition." Gay appears agnostic on the question, noting only that both German and English editions were published. In any case, a German edition appeared the same year ("Reisen und Entedkungen in Nord- und Central-Afrika in den Jahren.;" Gotha: 1857-58), if not simultaneously, then in short succession; a second English edition appeared in the same year and a cheap edition in 1859. The early owner of this set, C.G. Hodgson, appears to have been a prominent dentist in New South Wales at the turn of the 20th century; his library must have been sizeable, as books with his bookplate have appeared regularly at auction over the past century. Few sets in original cloth have appeared in commerce; this is a beautifully-preserved example. ABBEY TRAVEL 274. GAY 207.
