Beschreibung
London: Griffith and Farran. [1875.] 8vo. Original illustrated cloth, with expert restorations to extremities; pp. x, [2], 340 text illustrations and plates in wood-engraving, occasional light spotting; a good copy of a great rarity. This is the highly-illustrated and very rare first edition of Samuel Mossman's narrative of the Taiping Rebellion, and how General Gordon contributed to putting down the rebellion, which had engulfed the Yangtze region. Mossman was a writer of books on Japan, China and Australia; all his books are rare, including his publication of Gordon's private diary of 1893. Both Library Hub and OCLC locate a single copy, in the London Library, most likely without the original binding. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2110722
