About This Item
London: G. Robinson and Others, 1806. Eighth edition, all in contemporary full tree calf, nicely decorated on spines, frontispiece illustration to each volume, foxing affecting endpapers of a couple of volumes, but the text throughout is quite clean, tight and sound, read (I would guess) at most once only. Very nice copy. No indication of previous owner, though bought at auction in Dublin in 2012. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall. Reprint.. Full-Leather. Very Good/No Jacket.
