1824760L11London: John Murray 1824. First edition. Leather. Good Only. 6.5" by 4". Not Stated. A first edition set of James Morier's best known novel. An unusual copy with seven lithographs to volume II. Seven plates to volume II which is unusual as no illustrated editions of this work have been recorded. The plates resemble the style of the author's own illustrations as he was an amateur sketch artist. These sketches suggest an amandoned intention to issue an illustrated edition of this work. Bound without the half-titles. James Justinian Morier was a renowned British diplomat and author who entered the diplomatic service through the influence of his uncle Admiral William Waldegrave1st Baron Radstock. First visiting Iran in 1808 as secretary to Sir Harford Jones-Brydges Morier had an extensive career in the country and wrote several travel works of his experiences that were widely popular. This picaresque romance of Persian life was written after Morier retired from his diplomatic career in Iran. The work drew heavily on Morier's personal knowledge of Persia and its people that he had acquired on the British embassy staff at Tehran. The novel hence widely influenced English ideas of Persia and its Persian translation even led to the development of the modern Persian novel of social criticism.An unusual copy of this work in need of a sympathetic rebind. In a contemporary half calf binding. Externally worn. Loss to the backstrips of all volumes worse to volume III. Volume III is also lacking the bottom spine label. Spine is lifting to volume II. Pages 343-346 to volume II are detached but present. Good Only John Murray hardcover
