THE PRINCIPAL NAVIGATIONS VOYAGES TRAFFIQUES & DISCOVERIES OF THE ENGLISH NATION

London and New York City, J. M. Dent / E. P. Dutton 1927, hb. Ill.: maps, facsimiles. Complete ten volume set bound in turquoise cloth. 8vo, The text used is that edited by S. Douglas Jackson, as it appeared in the 1907 MacLehose & Sons twelve-volume edition.
¶ The title of the first eight volumes continues: "Made by Sea or Overland to the Remote and Farthest Distant Quarters of the Earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 years." The title of volumes IX and X (with the introduction by Ernest Rhys) reads: "The Voyages Traffiques & Discoveries of Foreign Voyagers with other matters relating thereto continued in the 'Navigations'". Each volume has a bookplate of the former owner attached to the inside front board. Traces of soiling and shelf wear to each volume. The pattern and tint of the cloth of the last two volumes, which show a publication date of 1928, is different from the first eight volumes (which show a publication date of 1927). Otherwise they are identical in format to the first eight volumes. The foredge margin of pp. 143/144 of volume V is torn away - probably through a production error. The text is unaffected, save for the first letters of the last two lines. Otherwise, the contents of all volumes are clean, tight, and unmarked. Overall, this is a very nice set in very good condition. Given the number of books in this set, it would be best if a prospective purchaser could contact us in advance for information as to the cost to ship out this set.

Day Lewis, with his wife Jill Balcon, of his own poetry and that of his favourite writer, Thomas Hardy. This took place only a few months before Day Lewis' death, though the strength and beauty of the Laureate's voice gave no hint of his shattered health.' Some light foxing at uncut edges. Near Fine.
