Part of Papers of Richard Francis Burton

Memoir of Captain Richard F. Burton (Extracts from the Press). (Unidentified reprint.) Double sheet. Despite the subtitle, the work reads as a continuous composition.

It mentions his visit to America in 1860, but not his marriage or his diplomatic career which both began in 1861
