"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.
