Description

AUTOR: Alexander Slidell Mackenzie. Armorial bookplate of David Salomans who was the first Jewish Lord Mayor of London [1855] and later appointed as England's first Jewish Magistrate. He became an M.P. in 1851 and campaigned to have the oath of abjuration amended or abolished.

Mottled page blocks.
Small amount of spotting/foxing. VOLUME I.
In-text illustrations.
VOLUME II.
In-text illustrations.
Born in New York, Alexander Slidell Mackenzie (1803 1848)
entered the American navy aged eleven as a midshipman,
serving on various ships in the Caribbean and the Pacific.
In 1825 he was promoted to the rank of lieutenant, and
soon afterwards he was granted a period of extended leave
during which he travelled in Europe. 'He was that rarity, a
studious officer who used his off-duty hours to improve himself
by reading widely. Thus in the course of his travels, his culture
and amiability caused him to be befriended in Madrid by
Washington Irving and by the young Henry Longfellow.
Both friendships lasted until death severed them.
Slidell's colourful experiences in the Iberian Peninsula formed
the basis of his first book, A year in Spain (1829), a vivid,
sharply observed travel account published first in Boston
and subsequently, to considerable notice, in England.
Irving had secured John Murray as his friend's English publisher
and had written favourably of the work in the Quarterly Review
(Feb. 1831)' . Entering Spain over the Pyrenees, Mackenzie visited
Barcelona, Tarragona, Valencia, Madrid (where he spent three months),
Segovia, Toledo, Cordoba, Seville, Cádiz and Gibraltar
