BARROW, Sir John (1764-1848). An Account of Travels into the Interior of Southern Africa . London: Strahan and Preston for T. Cadell and W. Davies, 1806. 2 volumes, 4° (262 x 202mm). 8 hand-coloured aquatint plates by T. Medland after Samuel Daniell 9 engraved folding charts and maps by S.J. Neele, 3 hand-coloured in outline, woodcut illustration, letterpress tables. With the 'Directions for Placing the Plates' leaf, 3B3, in volume II. (Some light browning and offsetting on folding maps, two aquatints with neatly-repaired marginal tears, one chart repaired, vol. II lacking half-title.) Half calf by Sangorski and Sutcliffe, spines gilt, top edges gilt (spines a little faded, corners lightly rubbed). 'SECOND AND BEST EDITION' (Tooley), the first to include the fine aquatints after Samuel Daniell (1755-1811). Barrow's Account was originally published 1801-04 with one sepia-tinted aquatint. This second, enlarged edition, illustrated with eight aquatints, followed quickly after the first. Barrow states in his preface that 'the most material [addition] is perhaps the illustration afforded by a few prints from sketches for which I am indebted to my friend Mr. S. Daniell'. Abbey Travel I, 322; Mendelssohn I, pp. 88-89; Tooley 85. (2)
