A memorial vanity printing consisting of Burns' correspondence with his parents regarding his travels and exploration in America Australasia and Africa signed by his parents. Burns visited New Zealand and Australia between March and December of 1881. The majority of the letters pertain to his experience in Africa; these begin in 1883 and continue to 1885.

It rapidly devolved into separately organized nationalized expeditions bent on African land acquisition. Henry M. Stanley worked secretly at this time for Leopold of Belgium to organize the Congo as a state; the French explorer de Brazza claimed the western Congo basin for the French; and Great Britain and Portugal cooperated to block access to the Atlantic. <br /> <br /> Young Edward Burns had just been named the Chief of Grantville which was the principal Station of the International Association in the Kwilu district. Burns' letters record many of his encounters with Henry Stanley including this one written from the "station of Isangila River Congo Sept 21 1884: "Stanley has had often a great difficulty with idiots to deal with and he told me himself that had he only had a few good English men and not a useless mixture of Belgians Swedes Germans Italians and Americans he could have done four times what he has towards the opening up of the Congo. If only this thing was under English management it would be very different! but the Belgian management in Brussels is something frightful". p195. Stanley wrote a letter of condolence to Burns' father included here.<br /> <br /> Small 8vo 240pp. Cream gilt cloth covers marked spine darkened. Libraries Australia ID<br /> 44683907.

Spines uniformly faded otherwise a fine set.<br /> <br /> "The most important work in the whole long list of books illustrated by Walter Crane. If Crane's claim to greatness were based entirely on this work he would still retain his position in the front rank of nineteenth-century artists. The wealth of ideas and forms real and fantastic which are embodied in the actual illustrations and even more in the marvellous decorative border designs is almost incredible! Besides the numberless presentments of the human figure in all its manly vigour and womanly grace the whole range of nature's forms of animal and plant life of fabulous mythological inventions of allegorical personifications are worked into decorative designs of exquisite beauty. It would be petty nay foolish to try to find fault with certain very obvious shortcomings as regards anatomical drawing in a work which does not only stand unique as pure decoration but speaks of an amount of knowledge and a wealth of imagination that command unrestricted admiration and respect" Konody p. 71.<br /> <br /> Ashley V p. 196.
