Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition.

Notable stories include: The Monster of Lake Metrie (Wyoming), Adventures of Sirdir Mohammed Khan, The Lost Continent, a tale of the Fourth Dimension and The Story of Flaxman Low. There is also a wide range of non-fiction article topics including: cannibalism, a new art of self-defence, microbes, boomerangs, a New York diving torpedo boat, shark hunting, billiard tricks, snake dancers of Arizona, Baku, convict life, etc etc. Personalities featured include Nikola TESLA, Jan Szczepanik, Mrs E. Main, champion mountaineer, Alex Orling, Hoshi Kosetsu, etc. Nearly all articles are attractively illustrated and include the work of the celebrated illustrator Warwick Goble R.A. The volumes are in very good to near-fine condition, bright and clean with very few, if any, signs of use. No inscriptions and firm bindings - unusual in such thick tomes (680pp and 814pp) - very attractive hardback covers with art nouveau designs in colour and gilt blocking. Volume VII has some cloth wrinkling to the spine and very slight spotting to top edge; attractive decorated green end-papers and fine condition throughout. Volume VIII has the identical clean and bright binding with clean gray end-papers with minor spotting to the verso of the last page (Index) only. Some slightly bumped corners to both volumes. Overall, in remarkably good condition. Pearson's Magazine has an obvious transatlantic feel in the choice of topics and fiction authors, most of which carry a U.S. copyright notice no doubt due to content overlap with the U.S. Pearson's Magazine. Some additional postage cost (ie. for two volumes) for overseas. Now 50% off the original asking price applied. Warwick Goble and others (illustratore).…

The price they could pay is not worth paper & ink [phrase underlined]! | Your old friend | William Le Queux."Secrets of State" could well have been the following (see entry on via Libri, Sanctuary Books): "Manuscript of "Secrets I Have Known" c. 1920. Ephemera. Near Fine. Manuscript on lined paper, bound by a single post at the top corner; 200x255mm; pp. 32, cursive handwriting in purple ink, on the recto only. It begins, "In the course of an erratic & wandering life I have mostly for the purpose of obtaining first hand knowledge of the seamy & more sensational -- of cosmopolitan life been forced to keep queer company in many Continental cities." This cataloguer wonders if this item remained unpublished, or if it's an early draft of "Society Intrigues I Have Known." It may have been published by Odhams in 1920, as a short story." See Image.…
