About This Item

London: William S. Orr, 1840. First Edition . Hardcover. Good+. 1st edition, good plus in a fine binding by Stoakley of Cambridge which has seen some wear. In red pebbled leather with all-edge gilt; stunning dcentelles and marbled endpapers. Corners a bit worn, the spine top more so; spots of rubbing here and there on spine. Spine also darkened, tops of boards as well. Internally there is occasional light to moderate foxing. The engraved title page and facing frontis have ghosted onto one another, so look the worst of all. 356 pp. + 28 steel-engraved plates plus other woodcut plates and many, many woodcut vignettes.
