Alphonse Marie Louis de Prat de Lamartine (1790-1869) was a French writer, poet, and politician, member of the Académie française. His "Voyage en Orient" was first published in 1835. John Lloyd Stephens (1805-1852), "the American Traveler", was an attorney, explorer, and writer. He was a pivotal figure in the rediscovery of Maya civilization throughout Middle America and in the planning of the Panama railroad. Howard Malcom (1799-1879), clergyman and missionary, is still regarded today as an important leader of the Baptist Church. He began his career as a Baptist missionary to foreign countries in 1835, and travelled to missions in Hindustan, Burma, Siam, China, and Africa. He wrote some of his most noteworthy literature about his missionary travels. In 1839 he published "Travels in South-Eastern Asia, Embracing Hindustan, Malaya, Siam, and China". The present fourth volume forms the first section of this work, and is published here for the first time separately. "Travels in Hindustan, Malaya, Siam, and China" forms the second section of "Travels in South-Eastern Asia", is equally published here for the first time separately, and consequently completes the work.

Sm. folio, First and Sole Edition, with copper-engraved illustrated title and 62 fine copper-engraved plates showing 372 coats of arms, some mild age-staining (mainly marginal) and a few leaves with inoffensive worming in lower blank margin; publisher's boards, cloth back, very neatly recased, new paper label, a very good, relatively clean copy. This copy is complete with all plates; it has been bound without the introduction and list of subscribers that are sometimes present.This very scarce work is generally attributed (including Halkett & Laing) to Sir George Nayler, Garter King-at-Arms, but DNB states 'it was in reality the work of one Ames, an engraver at Bristol', an opinion shared by Moule. Anderson adds that the arms are taken 'chiefly from Atkyns's and Rudder's histories'.The title-vignette shows Time as an angel supporting the ancient arms of the City of Gloucester with the cathedral in the distance.Anderson p.106; Austin 12084; Moule DCXCII (p.469); Upcott Gloucestershire VIII (p.264).

3 Vols., 1662pp., orig. cloth. The prestigious series 'Records of Early English Drama' aim is to make available historical transcripts of early English drama, music, ceremonies, dance and other forms of communal public entertainment in Britain from the Middle Ages to 1642, when the Puritans closed theatres and prohibited musical and dramatic performances. This volume contains primary sources for the county of Kent, with introductory material providing context. One chapter gives an overview of why certain forms of entertainment existed locally, and descriptions of various customs throughout the calendar year. This work is extremely interesting for anyone concerned with social history, popular culture and the history of performing arts.
