Book Description

London: T. Osborne (et al), 1761. All 4 volumes, contemporary banded calf, banded spines (some legibility difficult). Most hinges loose and starting. Gilt-ruled coves. Ex-library with plate of the Theological Seminary Library (Gettysburg, Pa.), with de-acquisition stamp; numerous library markings, including on spine. All 6 folding, copperplate engraved maps by Thomas Jefferys (Europe, Africa, Madagascar & Zanzibar, Asia, North America, South America) are very good or better (b&w as issued). Numerous portraits of naval figures. Text intact in all 4 volumes (587pp, 580pp, 488pp, 519pp). A very nice, uncommon, early set, although apparently Campbell wasn't that knowledgeable about some of his subjects. Samuel Johnson was a friend and acquaintance of the author. . 3rd.
