Travel in England, France, Spain, and the Barbary States in the Years 1813-1815

First edition of Mordecai Manuel Noah's account of his travels and diplomatic missions to England, France, Spain, and the Barbary States between 1813 and 1815. Published in New York by John Miller in 1819, this 8vo volume (pp. vi, [2], 431, [1], xlvii) includes an engraved frontispiece portrait and four engraved plates, one of which is folding. Noah's journey involved efforts to secure the release of American prisoners held by Algerian pirates.
