ref. 42129Edinburgh: Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation. Edinburgh: Hersdilia was a 454 ton steam yacht 171 loa manned by a crew of 19 and built in 1895 in Leith. In July and August 1896 she took a cruise to Norway and the Orkney Islands with a party of about a dozen the entire adventure being recorded here in the sort of hi-falootin' language reserved for the Upper Classes in the late Victorian era. The characters are given names such as "Lord High Admiral" "Cerberus" and "Dr. Angelicus" and the prose is riddled with weary tropes such as "in the after deckhouse incense is burned to 'My Lady Nicotine.'" The account records sea-going events and activities big waves! of course but also gives a readable narrative of their adventures ashore. This is followed by about 20 pages of mostly unreadable poetry penned by members of the expedition. Aside from a pleasing book design and a real sense of how better folks took their recreation back then the redeeming virtue of this work is its scarcity. Not in Toy. Worldcat shows only 5 libraries holding copies. Good condition in original binding showing light soiling and wear. Morrison & Gibb Printed for Private Circulation unknown
