San Francisco, Bacon & Company, 1891. First edition, first impression. Hardback. A near fine copy. A rare and important work about Mars, being one of the first - perhaps even the first - to look at Martians visiting earth, instead of the other way round. Some bumping to the boards and a large area of wear and staining to the cloth at the lower rear corner, where the cloth has completely worn away. Internally neat with some creasing to leaves.
