About This Item
La Haye: Chez Jean van Duren, 1741. iv [Avertissement], 564p., rubricated title page, vignettes and tailpieces as called for, 9.6x7.8 inch textblock in 10x8.1 inch casebinding in full calf with raised bands, leather labels gilt with gilt panelling, all edges tinted red. A good, or at least presentable, copy, with these flaws: leather is covered with small abrasions, but the gilt lettering and rulings have been largely spared. The rear joint has split in several places, front hinge is cracked but holding (calf still whole), top edge tint is greyed, pastedown bears a small armorial bookplate (of one William Lygon Esq.). Endsheets slightly dust-soiled, paperstock faintly foxed throughout. "Tom. II," per spine label. An odd volume.
