Publisher's Synopsis
""Travels Through The Empire Of Morocco"" is a travelogue written by John Buffa, chronicling his journey through Morocco in the late 18th century. The book provides a detailed account of Buffa's experiences, including his interactions with the local people, observations on the culture, and descriptions of the landscape and architecture. Buffa's travels take him through various cities and regions of Morocco, including Tangier, Fez, and Marrakesh. He also provides insights into the political and social structures of the country, as well as its relationship with European powers. The book is a fascinating glimpse into a time and place that has since undergone significant change, and offers a unique perspective on Morocco's history and culture.I was there exactly at the time, and in a few minutes the Emperor appeared, mounted on a beautiful white horse, attended by an officer of state, holding over him a large damask umbrella, most elegantly embroidered, and followed by all his great officers, body-guards, and a numerous band of music. He was greeted with huzzas in the Moorish style by the populace, and received at all the gates and avenues of the town with a general discharge of artillery and small arms, the people falling upon their knees in the dust as he passed. The streets were covered with mats, and the road, as far as the plain where the troops were drawn out, was strewed with all kinds of flowers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
