Artikelbeschreibung vom Verkäufer

; Contemporary 3/4 leather over scuffed marbled boards. Bright gilt lettering on spine. Text tight & intact. Rear hinge cracked & front hinge partially cracked with covers firmly attached. Early owner's ink stamp in front. Condition of individual books as noted after each title. Each book or part was issued separately at intervals throughout the year with the intention of having each series bound together although they were sometimes bound individually. There were 10 or more volumes published in this series. These books were of considerable interest because, at the time, they were one of the only sources of information as to current conditions in foreign countries. Most travel & exploration books were of a more historical nature. FULL Titles: (1) "TRAVELS IN ICELAND: PERFORMED BY ORDER OF HIS DANISH MAJESTY CONTAINING OBSERVATIONS ON THE MANNERS AND CUSTOMS OF THE INHABITANTS, A DESCRIPTION OF THE LAKES, RIVERS, GLACIERS, HOT-SPRING AND VOLCANOES; OF THE VARIOUS KINDS OF EARTH, STONES, FOSSILS AND PETRIFACTIONS; AS WELL AS OF THE ANIMALS, INSECTS, FISHES, ETC." by Eggert Olafsen & Bjarni Povelsen, translated from the Danish. 2pp ads + title page + 2pp preface + pp 5-158 + 4pp index. Compete with 5 plates as called for at end of text (including fold-out map of Iceland ). Text tight & clean with very minor scattered foxing.

No other tears, but fold-out plate of St Croix was misfolded & has a few extra creases. Deals mainly with the islands of St Helena, Tenerife, Mauritius &Reunion. (3) " GLEANINGS OF A WANDERER IN VARIOUS PARTS OF ENGLAND, SCOTLAND & NORTH WALES, MADE DURING AN EXCURSION IN THE YEAR 1804" by Anonymous (Mrs Leslie? ).
