Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Adventures in Morocco and Journeys Through the Oases of Draa and Tafilet
In Algeria are strips and patches of wilderness, and the corn-growing region is distinguished by a peculiar appellation The Tell. In Morocco, as our author remarks, that word is not in use, since the whole country is fit for the plough. Yet, though it cannot be doubted that of all the pro vinces of Northern Africa or Barbary, Morocco is the most spacious, the most fertile, the most healthy and agreeable in climate, it is also the most barbarous. As Mecca among cities, so is Morocco among kingdoms. Sometimes the Sultan or Emperor may give an escort to a traveller, as for instance when Hooker ascended the Atlas. The seaports, Mogador and Tangiers, are Open to the world; and the Jews, being useful as traders.
