Folio (270 x 193mm.), modern red half morocco, spine with raised bands in six compartments, worming, some small marginal tears, marginal damp-staining (primarily affecting later pages)

Extremely rare. It is stated in the preface to this work that the author's intention was to attract foreign visitors to the island by presenting its "brillant avantages" and to show to those who lived there the gains to be made. Corfu is described in minute detail: included are accounts of geography, climate, population, wildlife, agriculture, industry and commerce, economy, manners and customs, architecture, costume, law, arts and entertainment, health and sanitation, education, and numerous other subjects.
