Galo Flordelis (This file was produced from images generously made available by The Internet Archive) "Travels in the Footsteps of Bruce in Algeria and Tunis" by Sir R. Lambert Playfair is a historical and travel account written in the late 19th century. This work aims to retrace the journeys of James Bruce, a renowned explorer known for his travels in North Africa, particularly in Algeria and Tunis. Playfair not only describes the historical context of Bruce’s expeditions but also highlights significant archaeological sites and ancient ruins that Bruce documented during his time. The opening of the book introduces Playfair's motivation for writing it, which stems from his role as the British Consul-General in Algeria, echoing the footsteps of Bruce approximately a century later. He recalls the challenge of locating Bruce’s original drawings and manuscripts, many of which were preserved by Bruce’s descendants. In his endeavors to illustrate the travels of Bruce, Playfair sets the stage for a detailed exploration of North African antiquities, the landscapes, and a poignant portrayal of Bruce's contributions to geographical knowledge while calling attention to the often-overlooked accuracy and significance of Bruce's work in the face of skepticism.
