About This Item
Edinburgh: A Miller, London, A Kincaid and J Bell Edinburgh, 1764 Bound in full calf with red spine label and gilt titles, 6 raised bands, 298 pp. stated second edition. This a remarkably preserved book in exceptional condition, largely unread Flaws are minor: modestly bumped corners, a trace of cracking at the gutters, offsetting from the covers to the following [front endpapers to preceding rear endpapers. Also a 1" scuff to the lower back cover and an owner, Henderson signed his name a few times in preliminaries up to and including the title page with dates 1760 [not a typo] and 1769. Without a doubt as nice a copy as you may find.
