    Description

    The Mexican Guide by Thomas A Janvier
    . New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1890. Fifth Edition. Bound in forest green pebble buckram, with gilt titles. This was the last edition printed, and was revised to reflect the new rail services that were springing up in Mexico under Diaz' regime; in fact, after p. 362 appears a page with the note "In order to facilitate necessary future extension, incident to the rapid growth of railways in Mexico, a gap of seven pages here is provided in the plates". Janvier was the best guide to Mexico prior to Terry. Janvier (1849 - 1913), American by birth, lived for 7 years in Mexico, on his brother's coffee plantation in Vera Cruz state, but travelled around extensively. The three maps are NOT present in this copy. There is one small advertising city map in the front. The covers have some edge wear and the front hinge is weak. Else, good. Sold as is.
