CHISHOLM, George Goudie. The Two Hemispheres. A popular Account of the Countries and Peoples of the World. London, Blackie, 1882.

8vo. Contemporary green half-calf over pebble-grained cloth, spine ornamented ing ilt and with gilt-stamped lettering-piece; pp. [iii]-xvi, 992, colour-printed frontispiece and hundreds of wood-engravings in the text; light rubbing to binding and a little offsetting from endpapers, otherwise very good, despite having probably been bound without half-title.
Surprisingly rare first edition of the first book by the Scottish geographer, who is remembered for his important contributions to economic geography. Of course, Chisholm gives sound economic information on all countries of the world.
