About This Item
London: John Van Voorst, 1869 A very good copy of the 1st edition in the original decorative cloth binding. The binding has gilt titles to spine and blind stamped decoration to boards. There is light wear to edges including spine ends, joints and corners. Corners are turned with some cloth loss. There is a scuff to the front board which terminates at the edge with small cloth loss and three small indentations to the same edge. Internally the original yellow endpapers are present with a neat signature of Elizabeth G Gray at the fep. Contents are complete with one page listing of books by the same author at the rear. Internally very clean and sound with the odd spot, and some darkening at the top page edge and a couple of dark spots at the bottom page edge.
