Añadir al carritoFirst edition. x, [2], ii, 254, xxxi pp, [1]. Handsomely bound by J. Carss of Glasgow (ticket to FEP) in contemporary half-calf, tooled in gilt and blind, marbled paper boards, marbled edges, marbled endpapers. A trifle rubbed, spine dulled. The sole edition of sometime colonial secretary in Van Diemen's Land James Ebenezer Bich…eno's (1785-1851) critique of the severity of the British criminal code, in which he notably objects to burdening 'the colonies with the refuse of our prisons'. Carss was greatly admired by Thomas Dibdin, who in his Northern Tour (1838) described his as 'a Glasgovian, and a cunning man.the favourite bookbinder among the cognoscenti of Glasgow'. Ramsden first lists Carss in 1810; the firm remained active until at least 1837. Size: 8vo.
