Located in Bath, GB
A superb set of the novels of Captain Marryat, elegantly and uniformly bound in half morocco, and illustrated throughout. A twenty-two volume set in half morocco bindings, with pictorial gilt to the spines. All edges gilt. Captain Frederick Marryat (1792-1848) was a Royal Navy officer and an early pioneer of nautical fiction.

He also developed Marryat's Code, a widely used system of maritime flag signalling. This handsome set includes twenty-two of Marryat's novels, edited with a prefatory note to each volume by R. Brimley Johnson. The set is lacking Volumes VII and X. These volumes have been reprinted from the first editions. Volume I contains a brief biography of Marryat by the editor. This set comprises: Volume I: Peter Simple Volume II: Frank Mildmay Volume III: Newton Forster Volume IV: Jacob Faithful Volume V: The Pacha of Many Tales Volume VI: Mr Midshipman Easy Volume VIII: Snarleyyow Volume IX: The Phantom Ship Volume XI: Poor Jack Volume XII: The King's Own Volume XIII: Joseph Rushbrook Volume XIV: Percival Keene Volume XV: Monsieur Violet Volume XVI: The Privateer's Man Volume XVII: Masterman Ready Volume XVIII: The Settlers in Canada Volume XIX: The Mission Volume XX: The Children of the New Forest Volume XXI: The Little Savage Volume XXII: Valerie Including two unnumbered, yet uniformly bound, volumes: Japhet, in Search of a Father and Olla Podrida.
