Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Very Good in black cloth with gilt titles. 1st Printing. 247pp 8vo.

Octavo, five inserted plates including color frontispiece with drawings by "a native artist," original decorated black cloth. First edition. Six stories, some rather long. A sequel of sorts to a previous collection, from the same author and publisher, of material translated from a "well-known Chinese collection of stories, the 'Chin Ku Ch'i Kuan'," which first appeared in the seventeenth century. The stories are accompanied by a total of 69 notes, making this a useful reference work for scholars. A very good copy. An uncommon book. (#115368).
