ASK A QUESTION
Scarce narrative of a journey to Tangier, Morocco, by an Irish woman traveller. Amelia Perrier (1841–1875) reveals the life in Tangier unlike most of the travel accounts of her day, expressing the breadth of experience with transparency rather than obscurity, being especially scathing of the presence of all three religious institutions (Judaism, Islam, and Christianity) as 'perfectly untainted by common-sense'. Chapters include: education, theatre, Ramadan, weddings, Christian missions, horse riding, local saints, Purim and Passover, and slavery.

First edition; 8vo (19.5 x 13.5 cm); 4 plates including frontispiece, title vignette, discreet stamp to front free endpaper; publisher's original decorated orange cloth, gilt lettering to spine, a little rubbed, a very good copy; viii, 365 pp.

Playfair 1121.
