About This Item
London, England: Priestley and Weale, 1824. First Edition. Hardcover. Fair. A scarce edition offered despite its condition. Octavo, 8" tall, xxxvi + 320 pages, plain boards (as first published). A previous owner's signature penned on front endpaper. In fair condition overall, the interior being very good, paper clean and only lightly yellowed. But the original binding is broken and signatures disbound, most of the backstrip missing; the worn and soiled cover boards are loose and binding threads broken. However, because of the good condition of the paper, this scarce volume could be rebound. Priced accordingly.
