Seven bound volumes containing Quarterly Statement [for 1871-1884]

Palestine Exploration Fund.

1871-1884. Hardcover. Uniformly bound in old 1/2 leather (marbled boards with leather backstrips and corners). Original wrappers not bound in. 21cm. Some foxing (mostly on page edges and at beginning and end of volumes). Old price written heavily on verso of free endpapers. An attractive set. Quarterly Statement was first issued in 1869 to inform their supporters about the ongoing work undertaken or supported by the organization. The original (first) series apparently consisted of only eight numbers. Our set contains the first 56 quarterly issues of the "New Series." The first volume also contains an 80p. (plus a folding map) work titled: "The Exploration of Palestine" A Brief Statement of the Principal Work Accomplished by the Exploration Fund from Its Foundation to December, 1870." Very Good.
