Author: BARING, Maurice
Title: Translations: Ancient and Modern
Description: London, Martin Secker, 1918. Paperback. Small 8vo. Stiff red wrappers. 43pp, (4pp ads). Very good. Outer wrappers (only) slightly edgeworn, else internally fine. The scarce true first edition of these imaginary "translations." In 1925 William Heinemann published the first clothbound edition, expanded to include the imaginary "originals" (in Greek, Latin, Spanish, Russian, Italian, Swedish and French) that Baring supposedly translated. One sees this expanded first occasionally, the 1918 true first seldom. A lovely, tight, clean copy. .
