About this Item

A good used generally uniformly faded and worn set in green pebbled cloth with blind-stamp designs on covers and gilt titles. Volume II has a crack inside at the middle but all is tight - evidence of perhaps professional re-gluing to inner joints of volumes; the gatherings were sewn it and it is holding well. Easy to cruise through the pages without worry. Fancy frontis illustrations and then head and tail-pieces with interspersed wood engravings [according to introduction] that look more like steel engravings of some of the places along the journey. Interesting writing and descriptions. Has an American Rear Admiral of medical note and his wifes quaint bookplate pasted on blank front paste-downs. Has an antiquarian rather than used appearance.
