This is the first American edition of Constantin-François de Chasseboeuf, comte de Volney's *Travels in Egypt and Syria*, originally published in London in 1787. This edition, printed by John Tiebout for K. Doyckince & Co., omits the maps and plates included in the original publication, resulting in an "inexpensive edition". The book details the natural and political state of Egypt and Syria, covering their productions, arts, manufactures, commerce, and observations on the manners, customs, and governments of the Turks and Arabs.
