8vo, frontispiece-portrait in colour in both volumes (Ennin) pp. XIV-341 ; xv-454. First edition of a work by the translator of Ennin's diary, here presented in wider perspective for those with a specific interest in the Far East, but also for those with a more general interest in the broad record of human history.

The lengthy record of his wanderings and of his tribulations and triumphs is not only the first great diary in Far Eastern history; it is also the first account of life in China by any foreign visitor (Preface). The second saperate volume is . Reischauer's full translation of Ennin's diary under the title "Ennin's Diary, the record of a pilgrimage to China in search of the law". scarce in such complete and excellent condition.
