Levant.- Asmar (Maria Theresa) Memoirs of a Babylonian Princess.. written by herself, 2 vol., first English edition, engraved portrait frontispiece, occasional very light foxing, original cloth, spines faded, covers a little spotted but a sharp and excellent copy overall, [not in Atabey or Blackmer], 8vo, 1844.⁂ A superb copy of a rare account of travels through Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine.
