Artikelbeschreibung des Verkäufers

8vo., (6 2/8 x 4 2/8 inches). Large folding railway map of Southern Canada as frontispiece, and 12 further maps and 12 further plans as per the contents (rear endpapers waterstained). Original red cloth, gilt (extremities a little rubbed, but a bright and attractive copy). Provenance: with the blindstamp of Linkmark's bookshop in Poughkeepsie on the preliminaries; with an early ownership inscription on the half-title. Third edition, revised. This title was published in English only and was an original work by James F. Muirhead. Contains first mention of the Grand Trunk Pacific Railway (incorporated in 1903), as yet only partly constructed. "No one is better aware than the Editer himself of the inevitable imperfections in the early editions of a guidebook; and the vast extent of the Dominion of Canada has made the preparation of the present volume a peculiarly difficult task. He has not attempted to give more than a few suggestions and hints for the traveller's guidance in the less-known parts of the territory, where a journey still necessarily assumes something of the nature of an exploration. In such cases a book cannot take the place or perform the services of a living guide" (Preface). Muirhead, the first of a family of travel writers went to Leipzig in 1877 to join the staff of the "German guidebook publishing house of Karl Baedeker, and was commissioned by them to edit an English-language edition of their guide to London, which was published in 1878. He later compiled Baedeker guides to Great Britain (1887), the United States (1893), and Canada (1894), spending much time in North America to undertake research. In 1894 he married Helen (d. 1947), daughter of Joseph Quincy of Boston, Massachusetts. Muirhead was also the author of America, the Land of Contrasts (1898), American Shrines on English Soil (1925), and A Wayfarer in Switzerland (1926), and translator of several works by the Swiss poet and philosopher Carl Spitteler" (Ian Campbell Robertson for DNB).
