New York: Leypoldt & Holt, 1870. Book. Poor. Hard Cover (x-library). Fourth Edition. Large Octavo. Gilt titles (with fresh gilt map medallion on front cover) on burgundy cloth. 454pp. Pumpelly, a Harvard Geologist, departed for Asia in November 1861 on assignment to do geological work in Japan and China. His book devotes 10 chapters to each country. Additional chapters cover his geological work in Arizona and Siberia. The Japan section is particularly interesting because Pumpelly asked his friend, John La Farge, to write a chapter on Japanese art. This was the first discussion in print of that subject in the West and the chapter is illustrated with two tone examples of Japanese woodblock print figures. Spine worn and chipped, with 1-1 1/2" reduction on top. Front board detached. Ex-library with usual markings, card pocket rear. Text block is tight and clean and two of the three fold-out maps are present (the map of Southern Yesso on page 143 has been removed)..
