Rare edition. In this edition the views have been eliminated except for the attractive folding panorama of Jerusalem. This is the famous edition which gave rise to a lawsuit brought by Howard (a hotel owner in Jaffa and Jerusalem) against Baedeker with reference to some disparaging remarks in this volume about his hotels. Howard won the lawsuit and Baedeker was ordered to remove the critical comments. However in the next edition Howard's hotels were omitted and his business suffered greatly as a result. This copy lacks the map of Samaria but is still collectible as it is very rare.

Second edition. cxx, 444 pp, 16 (of 17 maps), 44 plans and a panorama of Jerusalem, (lacks map of Samaria), Charles Scribner's pricelist on front pastedown, presentation bookplate on front free endpaper, some staining on a few maps rebacked preserving publisher's original red cloth gilt, cloth faded, corners rubbed, markings on spine; overall a very good copy.
