Descripción

*** IF YOU LIVE OUTSIDE THE UK YOU MUST CHOOSE PRIORITY MAIL AT CHECKOUT SO I CAN INSURE AND TRACK THE BOOKS. IF YOU DO NOT CHOOSE PRIORITY MAIL YOU ORDER WILL BE REFUSED AND I WILL NOT TRADE WITH YOU AGAIN. *** This is a UK hardcover first printing of both volumes of this title, published by William Miller in 1808. The photos show the condition better than I can describe, however overall I am grading as Good condition for their age. The books have straight spine and firm boards with sharp, but scuffed, corners. However the sine ends are damaged with pieces missing from the top and bottom of volume 1 and the title long lost from volume 2. The page edges are marble pattern design, which matches the end papers of each book. The binding of each volume in nice and tight, with ex-libris owner labels glued to the inside board of each book. The end papers themselves are foxed and toned but the text itself is clean with only the odd mark to the occasional page. The title page confirms Volume 1 and Volume 2, and year of publication 1808. This set is the original presentation and binding as first printed and although worn, they're still an attractive set. N° de ref. del artículo 015716
