TAYLOR (Louise Marion) Compiler.
Catalog of Books on China in the Essex Institute.
First Edition, xi,[i],392pp., orig. cloth, a fine copy. This major subject bibliography describes 3,500 books on all aspects on Chinese life. It is an excellent reference for collectors, easy to use, and provides a broad exposure to books in any given subject.

A lifelong collector, Hunt gave his collection to the Essex Institute, where it is currently housed. The Library contains about 4000 volumes. It was with the purpose of increasing the library's usefulness to scholars that the current catalog was compiled. Subjects are Chinese in America, Jews in China, Buddhism, folklore, secret societies, and dozens of others.

FLEMING (George)
Travels on Horseback in Mantchu Tartary: Being a Summer's Ride Beyond the Great Wall of China.
First edition, large 8vo, xvi, 579, [3]pp., coloured frontispiece, fold-out map, numerous illustrs., in the text, small neat library stamp to blank margin of frontis., and title, rebound in quarter calf, blind-stamp library call number to spine, overall a very good copy. First edition of this enchanting account of the travels of George Fleming (1833-1901) in the far north of China. Fleming began his epic journey in Tien-tsin, where he was stationed as an army doctor at a British military garrison; there he was granted special permission to travel almost 700 miles as far as Moukden and to Manchu Tartary, the birth place of the Manchu dynasty. Flemings route took him through many regions that had been inaccessible to western travellers until the Treaty of Tien-tsin (1858-1859). His vivid account describes the people and customs he met; the landscape; the climate; the language and dialects; the agricultural practices of the various regions; and the struggles and hardships he faced during his journey. Flemings work is a monument of Victorian travel literature and an important source in understanding Victorian perceptions of China and of Chinese culture.

MINTONS TILES TRADE CATALOGUE.
Mintons Tiles. Selected Patterns of Enamelled Tiles for Walls, Hearths, Fire Places, Furniture, Flower Boxes, &c., Reduced to a scale of 1? inch to a foot.
Folio (325 x 250 mm), [8]pp., followed 30 numbered chromolithographed plates and one further "extra sheet" with 10 mounted albumen photographs, a couple of sheets with slight fraying to blank fore-edge, loose in publisher's printed boards, worn, re-backed with tape. Minton's Ltd, was a major ceramics manufacturing company, originated with Thomas Minton (1765-1836) the founder of "Thomas Minton and Sons", who established his pottery factory in Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, England, in 1793, producing earthenware. Herbert Minton began experimenting making encaustic tiles in 1828 in addition to the established Mintons pottery and china business, and produced their first catalogue of 62 designs in 1835. "The Tiles in this book are, with the exception of those shown on Sheet 16, which are printed patterns, and on the extra Sheet of Photographs, all Enamelled by a Patent process, know as "Reynold's process," which was adapted in 1848 by the late Mr. Herbert Minton, and has ever since been carried on at Mintons (Limited) China Works... The process for the decoration of Tiles was early favoured by the late Mr. A. Welby Pugin, "the great restorer of Gothic Arts," in the Houses of Parliament and in many other places, and the patterns in that style of ornament in this book are all from his hand. Since the days of Pugin the use of these enamelled Tiles for decorative purposes has greatly increased, and there are now few houses without some examples...".

ELLIS (Henry)
Journal of the Proceedings of the Late Embassy to China; Comprising a correct narrative of the public transactions of the embassy, of the voyage to and from China, and of the journey from the mouth of the Pei-Ho to the return to Canton. Interspersed with observations upon the face of the country, the polity, moral character, and manners of the Chinese nation.
First edition, 4to (275 x 215 mm), vii, [1], 526, [2]pp., with the final errata leaf, portrait frontispiece of Lord Amherst, 7 hand-coloured plates, 3 engraved maps (one folding, two lightly spotted), nineteenth-century full blue calf, the covers with wide gilt borders of fillets and floral rolls with corner tools, heavy gilt panel spine with a interlaced pattern in five panels and lettered in gilt on other, marbled endpapers with matching marbled page edges, some minor rubbing, a most attractive copy. "The Amherst embassy in 1816 was the third in a series of unsuccessful British attempts to establish trade relations with the Chinese government... The embassy, which was sent out by George III 'to protest at the ill-treatment of British subjects' was a failure, since Lord Amherst refused to kow-tow to the emperor. Ellis, who published this authorised narrative of the journey and transactions of the embassy, had accompanied Earl Amherst in the capacity of third commissioner."?L?wendahl. Provenance: With the green oval gilt morocco label of Granville Hastings Wheler with his faint signature in ink to head of title. Abbey Travel 536; Cordier Sinica III, 2393; L?wendahl 791; Lust 509.
