Cleveland: The Arthur H. Clark Company, 1911-12. First edition. 2 vols, 8vos, bound in publisher's red cloth with gilt spine lettering, top edges gilt. Laid in volume 1 is the prospectus as well as a letter signed by the publisher. Each volume complete with maps, photos, facsimiles. A near fine set with lightly bumped corners and a couple light spine scuffs.
Important set from Arthur H. Clark containing the journal translations of Nicolas Perrot, Bacqueville de la Potherie, Morrell Marston, and Thomas Forsyth. Emma Blair died just days after having received an advance copy of the first volume in 1911, though she had completed the work in full save for just a few editorial duties. Very sharp copies and scarce thus.
