About This Item
Hardcover. Good/No Jacket. Good, 14th edition revised, date edition noted on title page, date acquired from Hathi Trust Digital Library from a copy currently at Yale University Library. Brown cloth 767 pps.+ MAP. Former owner's bookplate on pasted down FEP, also name penciled in on title page with a few numbers jotted down on flyleaf in prncil, Back loose REP missing a chunk and also filled with penciled notes as in fly leaf opposite. Spine has been reinforced with white tape on REP and FEP and a clear tape on the outside of the spine extending out to the front and back covers. Now the good news - the interior pages appear to be here in totality, one is loose; they are age toned but for the most part without writing. This is one complete volume of editions which were at times published in 2 volumes. The only other copy of this book that I've been able to locate is at the Yale University Library and yes, it is that important."First published in 1871, Walks in Rome was one of the most successful of Hares prolific career: the final, (twenty-second) edition appeared in 1925. Regularly updated, it contains a great deal of practical information incorporating not only Hares personal researches, but also information from published guides and handbooks. "He took his readers along the Roman streets, in and out of churches and temples, ruins and galleries, palaces and piazzas, catacombs and crypts, to villas, viaducts and gates, gardens and fountains, explaining everything as he went and quoting appropriately from innumerable works ancient and modern . Although a great deal of what Augustus valued has vanished and many of his quoted authorities are outdated . his long guides are packed with information surprisingly useful to the modern tourist who can make the necessary allowances" (Barnes).
