lx, 517p. Color folding map in rear. Bound in publisher's terra-cotta cloth with gilt spine titles
"There are several chapters on the geography, vegetation, and fauna of South Africa, together with a synopsis of the history of the native and European races; most of the important towns and industries are described, and there is an account of Basutoland and Rhodesia. The volume ends with a chapter entitled 'Reflections and Forecasts,' in which the author, in discussing the sources of irritation between the Boers and the British, advocates the establishment of a Federal Union of South Africa after the style of the German Confederation (1815-1866), which included four free republics. He did not consider that there were any insurmountable obstacles to the scheme if reasonable concessions were made by the leaders of the different states concerned; and he asserts that the Afrikander population have never been hostile to the British Crown." (Mendelssohn I, p. 209.).

Burton, Robert [Democritus Junior]. THE ANATOMY OF MELANCHOLY.
London Nonesuch Press 1925 Limited to 750 copies, this no. 48 Quite decent copies with only the slightest wear. Very hard to find in collectable condition
Two volumes. Folio. xv [i], 299p, [v]; [viii], 301-588, [viii]. Illustrated by E. McKnight Kauffer. Gilt-titled parchment vellum spines with Italian pattern paper sides. Printed by the Westminster Press on Dutch cream laid paper with the Nonesuch watermark
"Kauffer's illustrations for Burton's text provoked some spirited public arguments. Sir Edmund Gosse declared them 'hideous and irrelevant, and that a child would deserve to be smacked for drawing them'. But they were stoutly defended by Roger Fry... whose remarks were later reprinted as 'Book Illustration and a Modern Example' in Transformations (1926)." Dreyfus 28, p. 191.

Bound in quarter scarlet morocco with marbled sides, endpapers, and text block edges, the spines with black leather titles labels gilt and with rather fancy gilt ornamentation
"The Anatomy, as its publishing history shows, was one of the most popular books of the seventeenth century. All the learning of the age as well as its humor-and its pedantry-are there. It... exercised a considerable influence on the thought of the time. Dr. Johnson deeply admired it, and Charles Lamb's often and strongly expressed devotion served to rescue the Anatomy from a brief period of oblivion; its admirers will continue to read and re-read it."
