"An Account of the Empire of Marocco, and the Districts of Suse and Tafilelt" by James Grey Jackson is a historical account written in the early 19th century. This work explores the geography, culture, and economy of Morocco, as well as the author's personal observations and experiences during his long residence in the region. The book scrutinizes various aspects of Moroccan life, including its political structure, social customs, and unique landmarks, while also addressing the complexities of trade with Timbuctoo, a significant trade center in Central Africa. At the start of the text, the author provides a detailed introduction to his motivations for writing the account, emphasizing the gaps in European understanding of Morocco. He elaborates on his time spent in the country, collecting extensive notes on its diverse inhabitants, geography, and the impact of trade on the region. Jackson expresses the aim of overcoming prevalent misconceptions about Morocco and highlights the potential benefits of increased trade and cultural understanding between Europeans and Moroccan people. He sets the tone for a comprehensive exploration of the Empire, preparing readers for an in-depth examination of its various provinces and their characteristics.
