The object of this undertaking is to supply what has long been felt to be a desideratum; namely, Graphic Illustrations of the Scenery, Antiquities, Architecture, Manners, Costumes, &c. of the East, which, as the theatre of so many brilliant military achievements, and such extensive commercial enterprize, is daily increasing in interest with the British Public. The Drawings for the Work are made by the First Artists in the Kingdom, from the original sketches taken on the spot. The series is now completed, comprising eleven beautifully finished Plates, tinted in imitation of Drawings. IMPORTANT SCIENTIFIC WORKS. In 2 Vols. 8vo., Price 30s. bound in cloth.
