Description

First Edition. This copy is extra-illustrated, with 50 plates. 8vo, very handsomely bound in full leather executed by James MacDonald in New York City. A fine copy, but for the hinges which are in need of restoration, otherwise an attractive binding.

Edizione: a handsome copy of holmes' european travels.<br> "after an interval of more than fifty years i propose taking a second look at some parts of europe. it is a rip van winkle experiment which i am promising myself. the changes wrought by half a century in the countries i visited amount almost to a transformation. i left the england of william the fourth, of the duke of wellington, of sir robert peel; the france of louis philippe, of marshal soult, of thiers, of guizot. i went from manchester to liverpool by the new railroad, the only one i saw in europe. i looked upon england from the box of a stage-coach, upon france from the coupe of a diligence, upon italy from the cushion of a carrozza. the broken windows of apsley house were still boarded up when i was in london."
