Description:
Edinburgh & London : William Blackwood & Sons, 1895. First edition. "Amateur-gipsy tours ... iron endurance, the temper of Mark Tapley, and the will to survive of Robinson Crusoe" (Somerville). "A sense of humour is one of the essentials for any tour, as necessary as a knapsack, or a map, and as both writers possess a keen perception of the ludicrous, their account of their jouneyings on ponyback through the northern parts of the Principality is most amusing and entertaining" (The Gentlewoman, 17th August 1895). Crown 8vo (193 x 124mm). vi,186 + 32pp advertisements dated June 1895 - the month of publication. Illustrations by Somerville. Bound in an elegant recent half blue morocco, banded and gilt; original cloth upper cover and spine preserved at rear (the primary binding, with the publishers' name given in full at foot of spine); a few minor marks and spots, but a very good copy of an uncommon title. Neat ownership inscription.
