[GREENFIELD BOOKS]

*HAKLUYT, Richard / With an Introduction by John Masefield and by Ernest 
Rhys / with sixty-four drawings by T. Derrick. /THE PRINCIPAL 
NAVIGATIONS VOYAGES TRAFFIQUES & DISCOVERIES OF THE ENGLISH NATION. Made 
by Sea or Overland to the Remote and Farthest Distant Quarters of the 
Earth at any time within the compasse of these 1600 years /*[together 
with] /*The Voyages Traffiques & Discoveries of Foreign Voyagers with 
other matters relating thereto continued in the 'Navigations'*/. 
Complete ten volume set bound in turquoise cloth. Illustrated with 
numerous maps, facsimiles, and drawings. Published by J. M. Dent  and E. 
P. Dutton, London and New York City. 1927. 8vo. The text used is that 
edited by S. Douglas Jackson, as it appeared in the 1907 MacLehose & 
Sons twelve-volume edition.

Each volume has a bookplate of the former owner attached to the inside 
front board. Traces of soiling and shelf wear to each volume. The 
pattern and turquoise tint of the cloth of the last two volumes, which 
show a publication date of 1928, is different from the first eight 
volumes (which show a publication date of 1927). Otherwise they are 
identical in format to the first eight volumes. The foredge margin of 
pp. 143/144 of volume V is torn away - probably through a production 
error. The text is unaffected, save for the first letters of the last 
two lines. Otherwise, the contents of all volumes are clean, tight, and 
unmarked. Overall, this is a very nice set in very good condition.
    
Price: $385.00.
