Cloth. Etat : Very Good. Various (illustrateur). The 'Library Edition' of The Book of The Thousand Nights and a Night. This edition was edited by the friend of the translator Richard Burton, Leonard C Smithers. This is the first of Nichols and Smithers' fine library edition. Published by H S Nichols and Co. This edition was published soon after Lady Burton's family edition and shortly before the illustrated library edition. This edition is of importance as it reinstates the text originally omitted by Lady Burton's edition. As stated in the preface, Smithers intention in the restoration was so that this work can finally 'take its proper place on the library shelf alongside Cervantes and Shakespeare.' In beautiful cloth bindings with pictorial gilt stamping to boards. Richard Burton's translation of 'One Thousand and One Nights or Arabian Nights' is his best known work. The text is a collection of Middle Eastern and South Asian stories and folk tales originally compiled in Arabic during the Islamic Golden Age. In uniform cloth bindings with pictorial gilt stamping to the front boards and spines. Externally, generally smart with heavy bumping to the head and tail of spines. some damage to the spine of volume VIII, a small hole. Evidence of damp staining to the bottom of front board to volume VIII. Damp staining to the bottom of front board to volume IX resulting in tidemarks to the bottom of first first 391 pages and some cockling. Damp staining is worse to bottom of both boards to volume X as it has resulted in the loss to some of the gilt stamping to the front and has caused a small amount of mould internally. Spine and rear board to volume XI has tidemarks and some damp staining as has volume XII, to the front board as well. Hinges to volume I are slightly strained but firm. Some remnants of adhered paper to the rear board of volume IV. Prior owner's signature to the front pastedown of all volumes, R C Love. A few ink spots to endpapers and pastedowns to volume IV. Small loss to cloth on front board of volume VI at the extremities. Internally, all volumes are firmly bound. Pages are generally bright. Tidemarks to pastedowns of volume XI due to damp staining. Tidemarks to first few pages of volume VIII resulting in some cocking to first 290 pages. Small tidemark to the page edges to 339 - 378 of volume IV, not affecting text. Tidemarks and cockling throughout volume X at the bottom, not affecting text. Damp staining to volume XI has resulted in front endpaper adhering to front pastedown and therefore some tears and loss due to an attempted removal. Cockling throughout the bottom of pages to volume XI due to damp staining. The odd spot throughout. Very Good. book.
