Description:
[Hong Kong], 1962. Three volumes, folio typescript, pp.(114), (119), 45 maps, 16 folding. Bound by Sam Ying Company of Hong Kong. A very good set in contemporary cloth, spines gilt. Unique well preserved typescripts of a course of lectures on Chinese geographical discovery, delivered by Professor Frederick Seguier Drake (1892-1976), probably at the University of Hong Kong in the 1950s. Drake was an Englishman born in China. Early in life he was ordained and became a missionary, but quickly became more known as a scholar of China particularly of its archaeology. He became Dean of the Faculty of Divinity at Qiliu (Cheeloo) University in Shandong and later Chair of Chinese at the University of Hong Kong which he occupied for twelve years. He is best known for leading the archaeological excavation of the Lei Cheng Uk Eastern Han Tomb in 1955-7, now a national monument.

Description:
Philadelphia : J.B. Lippincott, 1902. First edition, pp.xi, 197, complete with 88 fine Heliotype plates each with a descriptive tissue guard. One of only 500 copies issued. A very good copy in the original gilt-decorated cloth, top edge gilt. Stitching weak as usual due to the excessive weight of plates bound in. Very slight rubbing to extremities, light bumping to corners and spine, single crease to spine. Internally clean and unblemished. William Henry Furness III (1866-1920), an American physician, was one of the first Westerners to encounter the Kayan people of Borneo and the Wa'ab people of Yap. This work is the product of four expeditions Furness made between 1895 and 1901 accompanied by two like-minded physicians: Hiram M. Hiller, Jr. and Alfred C. Harrison, Jr. While their expeditions were primarily ethnographic, they also collected a considerable amount of biological and archaeological artefacts that became one of the founding collections of the University of Pennsylvania Museum of… Read More
