Published by Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green. London; 1826. 1st edition. Condition: Fair.
Bound in brown leather with gold gilt detailing. The binding is cracking down the spine, which is quite worn. Thee is general wear and rubbing to boards and edges. Inside, the pages are remarkably clean and bright with only a small amount of toning and age spotting.
In all, with some tlc to the binding this will make a smart example of this first edition by George Wilkins.
