DESCRIPTION
(iv) + 223 + (iv)
Book measures 180mm x 120mm approximately.
Bound in full contemporary calf and more recently re-backed. New spine has five gilt-ruled raised bands with floral motifs to compartments and contrasting tan title label. Includes engraved frontispiece representing the "origin of kisses" and an engraved vignette on the second title.
CONDITION
The binding is holding extremely firm indeed. Boards show some wear and scuffs and repair marks for new spine hinges. Internally the pages are generally browned with an occasional spot. Shadowing to title page caused by the engraving. Previous owner bookplate to front paste-down.
Overall, a lovely tight and pleasant copy of this rather rare work.

DESCRIPTION
(ii) + 224pp + 175pp + (ii)
Book measures 195mm x 125mm approximately.
Bound in full brown contemporary calf. Spine with five gilt-ruled raised bands with intricate gilt decoration to gilt-boxed compartments, and red title label. Lovely blind-tooled border and cornice work and panelling to both boards.
CONDITION
Good condition overall with binding holding firm. There is a full-length crack to the spine but this has not weakened the book significantly, and some minor cracking to front hinge. Gilt decoration to spine has been dulled and some lost. Boards have a few light surface marks and the odd knock with bumping to corners but are in remarkably good condition. Internally, the pages are clean with some uniform and expected ageing. A few spot and shadow marks towards end-papers, otherwise very good. Armorial bookplate of the Earls of Hopetoun to front paste-down.
