Two Volumes. Oversized hardcovers. Bound of black cloth over boards with gold lettering on front covers and spines. Covers are clean with light rubbing at crown and foot of spines, wrapped in protective mylar. Binding is tight and secure. Deckled edges, golden top-edge. Pages are generally clean and bright with some light toning and spotting. With forty plates, one hundred and fifty-eight text illustrations and seventy plans. Volume One: 475 pages. Volume Two: 448 pages. Title pages dated 1896. Signed in both volumes on front endpapers by Edward E. Salisbury (b. 1814 - d. 1901), a professor of Arabic and Sanskrit at Yale as well as the president of the American Oriental Society. Salisbury inscribes the books to his wife Evelyn, dated April 6th 1898. Later owner Chris Sterling's name is written in top corner of each front endpaper. A very nice set. This volume comes from the Castles and Forts collection of Chris Sterling, a longtime professor at George Washington University. Sterling was an avid book collector with a wide-range of interests; we are proud to house this collection, part of the extensive library which is his legacy.

Note: if there is a photo beside this listing, it s a STOCK photo that ABE put there (for reasons that we cannot understand or control) and might not match this actual book. These are oversized books, so extra shipping will be necessary for priority or international shipping.…
