Sobre este artículo
Boston: Ticknor & Fields, 1866. 24mo (5.5" x 3.5"), xii & 382 pages. Publisher's bright blue cloth elaborately lettered & decorated in gilt on the spine & in blind on the covers All edges gilt
Binding lightly rubbed, slight fraying at spine extremities, hinge started at title page, otherwise Very Good.
Originally published in London in 1862, this copy is one of seven titles in Ticknor & Field's "Books in Blue and Gold" series. The publisher utilized imported sheets from the original printer & provided decorative bindings which "were an instant success and made it clear that buyers do judge books by their covers" (American Antiquarian Society). As described in the preface, "The present volume is rather a condensation than an abridgment of the later volumes of Captain Hall's 'Fragments of voyages and travels,' inasmuch as it comprises all the chapters of the second and third series, only slightly abbreviated, in which the author describes the various duties of the naval lieutenant and commander."
