1876. Leared, Arthur, M.D. – Morocco and the Moors; is an account of Travels, with a general description of the country and its people. London: 8vo, pp. 370, with maps and illustrations. It also contains the following appendices: - A. The climate of Tangier. B. The climate of Mogador, by M. Beaumier (No. 1097). C. Section between Mogador and the city of Morocco. D. The trade of Morocco. E. The drugs in use amongst the Moors. F. The marriage of the Sharif of Wazan. G. The captivity of Mr. Butler.
This work contains much information, industriously collected, though full of errors, along with a lively account of his own experiences; but he did not enter on any new ground.
A new edition was published in 1891, with a preface by Sir Richard Burton. Pp. xv. and 354, map and illustrations. Some of the Appendices are omitted. The only addition is an introduction. Sir Richard's acquaintance with Morocco was limited to a winter passed in Tangier.
Leared arrive au Maroc en 1875, visita la côte, Marrakech, séjourna à Mogador puis à Tanger, accompagna l'ambassade portugaise à la cour. Ce livre vaut surtout par les renseignements fournis à l'auteur par Broome de Mogador.
Exemplaire dédicacé et signé de Sir Moses Montefiore.
