Description: NY, Stokes 1889. Octavo publisher's dark blue illustrated cloth blocked in black and gilt (tips rubbed); 78pp, illustrations. A couple of minor flaws and signs of use but a pretty good copy. ¶ First edition of this amusing (if pun spattered) account of a voyage of discovery to the ruins of Mehrika at the end of the 30th century; it is filled with anthropological and archaeological revelations. The street scene showing daily life in ancient Nhu-Yok is particularly good. The end is sad.
