About This Item

Cambridge: The Oleander Press 1984. 8vo. xxviii., xii., 338, 319 pp. Red hardcover with gilt lettering in pictorial jacket. Slight fading to spines and light spotting to jackets and verso. Internally clean. With a fold-out map at rear of vol. 2. A facsimile reprint of the original two-volume work published by Kegan Paul & Co. in 1879. The only changes are the omission of the original publishers' advertisements bound into the back of volume II, the rendering of the chromolithographs in monochrome and before the Preface to Volume 1, the inclusion of a new Table of Concordance between references from the 'Land of Midian' to the original 'Gold Mines of Midian' (1878) and to the new edition of the Gold-Mines of Midian prepared from the author's annotated copy by Philip Ward. This is a very nice copy, very clean bar a little bit of black marking to the free endpaper of the second volume. 0900891556 . Very Good. Hardcover. First Thus. 1984.
