Description
Octavo paper covers (lacks lower corner/paper tanned & slightly soiled/creased) 144pp +[161] half-title to index of Authors [162] blank +163p-178pp +Japanese ideogram colophone leaf. There is something missing between 144 which is in the Literature Collected & Miscellaneous section of the catalogue where non-Japanese books were listed. The index of Authors is complete. Fine Japanese bookplate with emblematic surround of guns, trumpet, sword, banner etc. Titlepage with red 4 character monogram. Mostly English language text but some Japanese translation of titles. Includes American and English poetry, fiction, juvenile literature, as well as a small amount of Latin, French, Danish etc. Interestingly all these works seem to date from the 1880's-1900 with the earliest dates among the Latin authors being 1860's. Scarce look into the opening up of Japan to foreign influences.
