de Staël-Holstein, Baroness; notes and appendices by O.W. Wight.
Germany (Two volumes) [De l'Allemagne].
Publisher: New York: Derby & Jackson, 1859..
First U.S. Edition Published in French in 1810, this book was suppressed by the government under Napoleon and the author was exiled. It was sympathetic to the pre-unification Germany with France suffering by comparison. Two small octavo volumes, 7.5 inches (19 cm) tall, in half polished calf, marbled boards, edges, endpapers, spine labels in red and black. Five raised bands with extra gilt in the compartments. 408 and 437 pages respectively. Spine title reads "De Stael's Works" so this is perhaps part of a set. A bit of loss of material at the head of the spine of volume II; some scuffing to the leather at the top front of volume II and to the leather corners. Very mild toning to the text but no foxing; bindings sound. Hardcover Hardcover Very Good+

Goldsmith, Oliver, 1730?-1774.
The Vicar of Wakefield / by Oliver Goldsmith ; with a preface by Austin Dobson and illustrations by Hugh
Publisher: London ; New York : Macmillan & Co., 1894..
xxxiv, 305 p., illus. ; 19.5 cm. "First edition 1890. Second edition 1892; Reprinted 1892, 1894"--T.p. verso. Calligraphic t.p. "Oliver Goldsmith's hugely successful novel of 1766 remained for generations one of the most highly regarded and beloved works of eighteenth-century fiction. It depicts the fall and rise of the Primrose family, presided over by the benevolent vicar, the narrator of a fairy-tale plot of impersonation and deception, the abduction of a beautiful heroine and the machinations of an aristocratic villain. By turns comic and sentimental, the novel's popularity owes much to its recognizable depiction of domestic life and loving family relationships". Bound in 3/4 leather. Lea 013.

Morier, James
THE ADVENTURES OF HAJJI BABA OF ISPAHAN
Publisher: Random House, NY, 1937.
Near Fine in Poor dust jacket. First Edition Thus. 1. Hard Cover Publisher's full illustrated cloth. Illustrated with color plates and maps by Cyrus LeRoy Baldridge. The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan was first published in 1824. It is said to be based on the life of Abolhasan Khan Ilchi, who served as the Iranian Ambassador to England from about 1810 to 1813 and wrote Heyratnameh (The Book of Wonders) the account of his travels to England. James Morier (1782-1849) traveled with Ilchi to England and then accompanied him back to Iran. With his knowledge of Eastern life and manners he wrote several entertaining novels. The most popular of these was "The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan" (1824) and its sequel "The Adventures of Hajji Baba of Ispahan in England" (1828). These were followed by "Zohrab the Hostage" (1832) ; "Ayesha the Maid of Kars" (1834) ; and "The Mirza" (1841), all full of brilliant description, character-painting, and delicate satire. The volume is in virtually perfect condition, unmarked, tight, square and clean. The unclipped dust jacket, now in Mylar, is significantly chipped and torn, with loss. NEAR FINE/POOR. Color Illustrations. 4to 11" - 13" tall. xxx, 460 pp
