Sobre este artículo
London: Reeves and Turner, 1884. First Edition Thus, with Preface by A.H. Bullen. Two volumes in contemporary half morocco and marbled boards, raised bands, gilt, top edge gilt, marbled end papers, the small bookplate of Herbert M. Allen, Cambridge front paste downs. Near Fine, light rubs at corners and raised bands. Paltock's classic imaginary voyage, originally published in 1751, this edition especially desirable for Bullen's reviews of the history of its writing, publication, and its influence on later writers like Dickens, Hunt, Lamb, Coleridge, et al. After creating this wonderful world of winged women, exotic creatures, and fanciful civilizations, Paltock tried his hand at a similar work featuring a dog-bird ( see Bleiler) but for some reason it never took off. Bleiler, p.162. . First Edition Thus. Half Morocco. Near Fine/No Jacket, As Issued. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
