Original publisher's red cloth, stamped in gilt and blind. Rubbed and marked, with boards and spine dulled. Spotting to initial leaves and plates. The first published work of English philanthropist and writer Catherine Marsh (1818 â" 1912), a highly successful memoir of a Christian soldier borne from her concerns over the draft for the Crimean War. The biography sold 78,000 copies in its first year of publication; English Hearts and English Hands (1857), which she composed after witnessing the struggles of workers rebuilding the Crystal Palace, followed a similar structure, this time following the life of a navvy. Size: 8vo.

Paperback. Condition: Good. Mifs (Miss) Marsh (illustrator). First Edition. 12 unnumbered leaves in what appears to be a contemporary off-the-shelf sketch book protected by a pale green protective outer layer/dust cover upon which is handwritten the name Marsh. Includes nine one-page tissue-protected hand-drawn, -coloured and -lettered maps of: Spain and Portugal; Hungary; Turkey in Asia; Persia; Egypt Arabia Nubia & Abyssinia; Holland; England & Wales; Austrian Empire; Settlement of Noah's Descendants Throughout the World; Palestine or the Holy Land, the last two maps appearing on the ninth leaf. Longitude and latitude indicated at periphery of each map. Many cities and water bodies indicated. Last three leaves blank. Provenance unknown. Handwritten name "Mifs" (Miss) "Marsh, Nov. 8th, 1838" upon verso of front cover. Oblong 29.5cm x 23.3cm. Light moisture marks throughout. Binding intact. We are left to speculate as to who Miss Marsh was and where she lived although, based on the writing, our guess would be that she was English. Given the relative thickness of the pages we believe it highly unlikely that these maps were traced. Rather, they appear to have been assiduously hand-drawn by Miss Marsh, presumably by referring to contemporary cartography. Miss Marsh would probably be amazed by the many border and name changes which have occured since 1838.
