About This Item
Newbern, (North Carolina): Martin & Ogden, 1804. Hardcover. Very Good. 4to - over 9¾ - 12" tall. 4to. 501, [1]; 226, (156), [1], [1] pages. Bound in full leather with a clear removable mylar cover. Early leather over boards with a modern reback in brown leather with spine rules in gilt and with a burgundy leather title label. A sound copy. Professionally conserved. Front flyleaf is tipped in. THE TITLE PAGE IS IN FACSIMILE, as are the next two leaves, the leaf in printed in italics (front and back) and the leaf on the Second Charter by Charles II (front and back). Very nicely done. The leaf following the last facsimile leaf of Charles II is the remains of the original leaf on Charles II (3/4 of the page), encapsulated in tissue and properly tipped in). The rear flyleaf (blank) is also tipped in. The leather spine is fresh and clean. The boards are scuffed, bumped and abraded with a piece chipped out from the top corner of the front cover. The text block is sound (likely re-sewn). The text is toned with occasional foxing. The title page to the second part (also dated 1804) shows heavier foxing. The conservation work is very good. An attractive copy.
