Mountains and Molehills by Frank Marryat

Item Details

Description

Heading: (Zamorano 80)
Author: Marryat, Frank
Title: Mountains and Molehills, or Recollections of a Burnt Journal
Place Published: London
Publisher:Longman, Brown, Green & Longmans
Date Published: 1855
Description:

x, [2], 443 + 24 ad pp. With 8 chromolithograph plates from drawings by the author. (8vo) 22.2x14 cm (8?x5?"), bound by Morrell in modern three quarter morocco with marbled boards, rule in gilt, raised bands, spine sections lettered in gilt; new marbled endpapers. First Edition.

One of the most sought-after books on the California Gold Rush, noteworthy both for the striking color lithographs and the entertaining text. Wheat declares it an "excellent narrative of experiences in the diggings, with colored lithographic plates of great beauty and importance. The New York edition...lacked these remarkable plates" - Wheat. Kurutz quotes Howell as calling the book one of the best descriptions of life in the mines, and lauds both the graphic excellence of the plates as well as their revelation of the author's wry sense of humor. Cowan p.416; Graff 2685; Howes M299; Kurutz 329a; Wheat Gold Rush 137; Zamorano 80 #52.

Condition

Touches of wear to morocco and extremities; binding tight, pages slightly age-toned, with scattered marginal foxing throughout; very good.
