Original gilt-stamped green [or blue for the MORE GEMS] cloth. Nice copies. The first title was originally issued in 1918. William John Bainbrigge Fletcher (1879-1933) was British consul at Haikou [Hoihow], Hainan Province. / "In fact, the special value of these two books is self-evident. … [These two books] are the earliest available English selections of Tang poetry, and Fletcher . . . is the first person dedicated to the translation and introduction of Tang poetry to the Western world. . . . As far as the time of publication and the contents are concerned, GEMS OF CHINESE VERSE and MORE GEMS OF CHINESE VERSE by Fletcher well deserve recognition as the earliest English anthologies of Tang poetry in the Western world."
