Stated fifth edition, in two volumes (as published). 8vo. (9 x 6 ins); pp xviii, 313 + [iii] + 341 + [1]. One coloured and folding map ("South Slavonic countries") and one other map, plus two frontispieces and 17 plates in total. Rebound in much later half cloth over marbled sides, new endpapers. Contents clean and bright with no folxing or old inscriptions. An excellent set in later binding. First published in 1867, this is the revised edition which carries three additional chapters by Miss Irby and with a preface by William Ewart Gladstone. Miss Irby and Miss MacKenzie travelled in Serbia and the Balkans from 1861 to 1864, during which time they established a teacher-training school in Sarajevo, in a community where few outside women had been before. Valuable information on the peoples of the former Yugoslavia (Slovenia, Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia and Montenegro).
