WITH ALS TIPPED INTO THE FLYLEAF OF THE SECOND JOURNEY, reading Dear Sir William Pray accept my grateful thanks for your very valuable book, & permit me to request your acceptance of my second volume. I have not a new copy by me, but to you who do not merely look at a book, that surely can cause no difficulty; Yours truly [signed] James Morier, Charles St, 20 May [?]. Author signed copies of Morier are rather rare on the market. Altogether a most attractive set of one of the most insightful of all the Near Eastern travel books.
