London, Bentley, 1858

Taxes included. Shipping calculated at checkout.
A beautifully bound example of Creasy's history of the Ottoman Turks. First published in 1856 and based largely on the work of Hammer-Purgstall, it met the increased public interest in Turkish affairs occasioned by the Crimean War. The significance of Hammer-Purgstall's work was it it was largely based on Turkish sources, rather than other European writers.

New edition. 2 volumes, 8vo, ix, [i], 413; 548 [2, corrigenda] pp., folding map (small tear to fold), engraved frontispiece view of Malta, handsomely bound in contemporary polished calf, gilt fillets to covers, spine in six framed compartments, tan and green labels to second and third, others richly gilt, raised bands, marbled edges, a fine set.

Cf. Atabey 299 (first ed).
