About This Item
London: Macmillan and Co., 1906.. viii,314,[2]pp. Gilt decorated medium blue cloth. A few stray marks to cloth, slight tanning to endsheets, otherwise a very good copy. Fifth printing of the fourth edition of this popular consideration of aspects of the life and religion of Burma. This copy is inscribed on the half-title: "Francis H Bacon from Claude Bragdon Jan. 1908." The donor, Claude Bragdon (1866 - 1946), was an accomplished poet, architect, designer and student of esoteric practices. He helped translate and wrote an Introduction to P.D. Ouspensky's TERTIUM ORGANUM. Francis H. Bacon (1856-1940) was an architect, designer, and archaeologist. Further, this copy also bears the later ink ownership signature on the front free endsheet of poet / publisher James Laughlin, who likely found this text of particular interest as background for his work in Burma in association with the Ford Foundation.
