Author: HEARN, LAFCADIO / ERSKINE, JOHN. (EDITOR).
Title: Books and Habits. From the Lectures of Lafcadio Hearn.
Description: London: William Heinemann, 1922. `Selected and edited with an introduction by John Erskine. "These lectures were delivered to Japanese students, and Hearn's purpose was not only to impart the information about Western literature usually to be found in our histories and text-books, but much more to explain to the Oriental mind those peculiarities of our civilization which might be hard to understand on the further side of the Pacific Ocean. The lectures are therefore unique, in that they are the first large attempt by a Western critic to interpret us to the East." Pp.xx/328, toning to pages. Blue cloth, gilt title to spine. G+.
