Descripción

xvi,422pp. Contemporary paneled calf, gilt, rebacked with original gilt backstrip laid down. Extremities lightly rubbed, corners bumped. Bookplate and binder's ticket on front pastedown. Neat ownership inscription on titlepage, else internally fresh and clean. Very good. The author, styling himself a Virginian, writes of his European travels during 1776-77. He seems to have paid particular attention to French and British ladies, even noting such delicate things as French ladies' legs and feet. He likes Paris palaces better than those in London, and seems to be a Francophile through and through, citing the French predilection for learned men. Scarce. SABIN 1258. SMITH, AMERICAN TRAVELLERS ABROAD A34. N° de ref. del artículo WRCAM25103
