Title: 1855 A JOURNEY THROUGH CHINESE EMPIRE by M. HUC antique 2 VOLUMES w/ MAP

Description: A JOURNEY THROUGH
THE CHINESE EMPIRE
by M. Huc
2 volumes, complete
New York; 1855
1st American Edition
Important account of the Chinese Empire before the intense incursion of Europe.
Abbe Huc was a French missionary who went to Asia in 1838, not returning to France until 1852; he earlier wrote a popular book of his travels in Tibet with Joseph Gabet, where they attempted to establish a Christian mission.
His accounts are still respected as historical sources, more focused on Chinese reality than Christian piety, though completely reliable.
Size: 5 1/4 by 7 3/4 inches
Illustrated with folding map
Original embossed cloth, spine with title label in gilt
Good condition, some wear of bindings
