About This Item

london: W. Flexney. Hardcover. Good. 8vo, pp. xvi, 143, bound into a single volume with Jones, Rev J.P., Observations on the Scenery and Antiquities in the Neighbourhood of Moreton-Hampstead and on the Forest of Dartmoor, Devon (Exeter, 1823, pp. 62); Two Private Letters From India to a Gentleman in England from his Son who Accompanied Earl Cornwallis on his Expedition to Lucknow in the Year 1787 (Peterborough, 1788, pp.70); [Dobell, Peter] Russia As It Is, and Not As It Has Been Represented (London, 1833, pp. 48), in half calf over marbled boards, title 'Moreton--Hampstead &c.' to spine, splits to leather at base of spine to the front and top of spine to the rear, corners bumped, loss of leather to one corner to the rear, several repairs to pages of the Indian Letter, Hibernia Curosia with four of its six fold out illustrations; Plan of the Giant's Causeway, Sketch of the Figures of the Columns as they appear on the top of the Causey (sic), A Plan of the Town and Water-Fall of Leixslip and A Plan of the Lake of Kilarny in the County of Kerry (therefore missing the view of the waterfall at Powerscourt and the Plan of Dublin), the text largely clean except where the folding plans have allowed dust to intrude. Existing binding sound but essentially the four books should be rebound separately as each of them are scarce. All are complete from their title page to finish.
