[The Complete Collected Works in 12 volumes].
Skt. Peterburg, A.F. Marks, 1894-5.
Bound for the celebrated English writer Maurice Baring (1874-1945). His bookplate was designed by his friend, the prolific writer Hilaire Belloc. The two men met in Oxford in 1897, and Belloc wrote on the ex-libris 'Here goes a ship with a cargo of books to the City of Dreams'. Interestingly, Baring's first significant publication related to Russia, being the 1905 With the Russians in Manchuria; he also edited The Oxford Book of Russian Verse.
Fifth issue ('fourth edition'); 12 vols; 8vo; contemporary half vellum over grey boards by Birdsall & Son, Northampton, flat spine lettered in black, top edges gilt; very lightly soiled.
