About This Item

London: the Company of Booksellers, 1734. 1st Edition. Very Good. Volumes 1-3 published in 1725 and volumes 4-6 published in 1734. Written by Bishop Burnet throughout his life, including stints on the continent during the Civil War and Glorious Revolution, the work is considered a solid history of the time having been changed by Burnet to be more historically oriented rather than biographical/journal. Volumes 1-3 contain English History from 1660-1689. Volumes 4-6 contain history from 1689-1713, Burnet's thoughts on the history, and a biography written by the editor. Bound in modern calf with five raised bands on the spines. Each volume has 2 red labels on the spine, one with the title and the other with the volume number and year of publication. New end papers. Text is complete, pages are toned with some spotting. A bookworm found the margins of volume IV quite delicious at some point, having eaten a good chunk, only a handful of letters barely impacted (an 'm' is missing part of the second bump, for example). Volume V has a much more modest bookworm hole in its margin, no impacts to text. 

Pages: Vol I (26) 1-506; Vol II (4) 507-1058 (12); Vol III (16) 1059-1418 (88); Vol IV (18) 1-494; Vol V (14) 497-1022; Vol VI (14) 1025-1431 (79)   Dimensions: 6⅜ x 4¼ x 1¼ (each volume).

About John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop

I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.

Please reach out with any questions on books, their condition, or additional photos as needed.
