Descripción del artículo del vendedor

The 1791-1792 edition of Gibbon’s ground-breaking history of the Roman Empire which covered the period from the height of the Empire to the fall of the successor Byzantium Empire (98 to 1590 AD), and relied on primary sources. The original quarto printings were now converted to a more convenient octavo printing. Volume XII contains an extensive index to the work. The volumes are uniformly and bound in contemporary full tree-calf. Each has decoration in gilt to the spines with two contrasting Morocco title plates with gilt lettering. Boards are decorated in gilt with edge-tooling. All volumes show age with light rubbing to their extremities and joints and minor bumping to the corners. Light sunning to the spines. Occasional light rubbing to the surfaces of the boards. Each volume has the title plate of Abraham Spooner Lillingston of the midlands banking and iron industry family along with his hand-written name on the front paste downs. There are signs of a previous bookplate being present with off-setting from the front paste-down to the first free endpaper. Text-blocks remain tight with no obvious loose gatherings and the pages are bright with little ageing.
