Nichols and Co., MDCCCXCIIII. [1894]. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION. One of seventy-five copies specially printed on hand-made paper; leather-bound; hardcover wi…th slipcase; royal octavo (24.5 x 15.5 x 3 cm); pp. viii, 252, [18, publisher's catalogue], [1]. English text, translated from the original French. Beautifully bound in full vibrant crimson morocco by *Donnelley of Chicago, with gilt rules to covers and subtle fleuron design that extends from the bands around the second compartment of the spine onto the front and rear covers. Five bands to spine with title to second compartment. Gilt-ruled turn-ins with star and crescent moon tooled corner-pieces. Top edge gilt, other edges unevenly cut. Plain gray endpapers. Half-title. Title-page printed in red and black. Advertisements bound in at rear. Housed in its original red cloth flannel-lined slipcase. Condition: FINE. An immaculate copy. Notes: The Transmigrations of the Mandarin Fum-Hoam is a classic 18th-century collection of stories originally written by French author Thomas-Simon Gueullette and later edited and translated into English by Leonard C. Smithers. The book is structured as a series of interconnected "Oriental tales," being heavily influenced by the style of The Arabian Nights. It revolves around a Mandarin named Fum-Hoam who recounts his numerous reincarnations to the beautiful Princess Gulchenraz. His journey involves diverse characters, including treacherous court officials, wise sages, and royalty like Malik Al-Salim, the King of Georgia. The tales weave in elements of Confucianism and Taoism, offering a Western "Orientalist" perspective on ancient Chinese culture, magic, and moral wisdom. While Gueullette wrote the original French version in the early 1700s, Leonard C. Smithers published this English version in 1894. It is limited to six hundred and eighty copies only, seventy-five of which are on Arnold's unbleached hand-made paper, and five of which are on Japanese vellum. This copy is one of the seventy-five on Arnold's hand-made paper, and is specially bound by Chicago firm Donnelley. *"For thirteen years [1923-1935], the Extra Bindery [at Donnelley] was headed by the distinguished English bookbinder Alfred de Sauty, who was recruited by T. E. Donnelley from the Central School of Arts and Crafts in London. De Sauty immediately set the standard for American bookbinding when he hired three European-trained bookbinders, William Anson, Basil Cronk, and Leonard Mounteney. As was the European tradition, hand-binding at RR Donnelley was a team effort. The head of the bindery generally established the design and specified the materials. From there, a book passed through the hands of several staff members, each responsible for a particular aspect of the process; sewing, backing, tooling, and finishing" (University of Chicago Library).

Hardcover, tall 8vo (6 1/2 x 10 1/8 inches) in publisher's black cloth blocked in gold with ornate "orientalist" design approximating, perhaps, a harem screen, incorporating a section of Arabic bar lettering, the titles to the spine in go…ld, and rear board with a triangular vignette of Arabic script. Top edge gilt, others trimmed. Includes original publisher's note to booksellers, laid in. Also includes facsimile title page from Burton's subscriber-only first edition of 1885. This 1894 Library Edition set, in 12 volumes, contains extensive footnotes and a concluding essay by the Author. Vols. 1-12 complete, v.p. Printed on glazed stock, with extensive footnotes by Burton as well as a concluding essay at the end of the last volume. **CONDITION: Very Good. Occasional light marks to boards, very light rubbing to a couple of the outer joints, with moderate wear to head and tails of spines. Hinges appear in order. Top edge gilt a bit dulled. Light browning to prelims, and signs of light foxing to text block edges. Elsewhere light age toning, and pages are generally clean ( the odd smudge) and unwritten on. Vol. 1 with small 1/4 inch loss to top right of ffep. Set would require minimum of 15 inches of shelf space. As introduced in his "Translator's Forward," of Vol. 1, these tales of Moslem folklore were collected, adapted, written and rewritten from time immemorial, the various stories harking from areas of the Middle East, Northern Africa, Egypt and Syria; many places the Victorian polyglot extraordinaire army captain, traveler, author and later diplomat, CAPTAIN SIR RICHARD F. BURTON( 1821-1890) lived during his remarkable career, begun with the making of the Haj and visit to the Muslim citadel of Mecca in the early 1850's while in various disguises. He did convert to Islam from Catholicism, part of what sets him apart as a culturally-sensitive Western "orientalist," not unlike Lafcadio Hearn in this regard. Some earlier English and French nineteenth-century editions had been issued of "The Arabian Nights,", from which Burton takes exception with most. The premise of the work is a series of tales told by a woman, Scheherazade, the vizier's daughter, in order to distract the King Shahryar from the revenge he wishes to take on his unfaithful wife. Also described as a scientific and ethnographic work in its scope by the editor, and an important addition to world literature. REF: LOC. DNB. A.S.
