A propos de cet article

6 1/2 inches x 10 3/4 in., map of route to and from China; title-page; author's February 24th, 1840 preface; contents; map of Island of Loo-Choo. [6]pp, pp. [1]-81; title-page to part one of the Chili title; advertisement to the Sixth Edition, March, 1840; contents. vi, pp. [1]-77; title-page to part two; contents. iv, pp. [1]-80, including appendixes. Top-edges of the Java title: pp. 7-24 show rough edges from careless opening, some tea stains to pp. 49-67. Most pages of the Chili title are unopened. Dark brown, ribbed cloth with elaborate, blindstamped floral design on both covers, light yellow coated endpapers. The cloth spine and sides have been replaced with later, brown cloth, with later cloth inner hinges added, the cover corners show wear, stains, abrasions to page fore-edges. Scarce title that republishes these two earlier works by Captain Basil Hall, in one volume. With the bookplate of Cleveland, Ohio based book collector, William G.
