About This Item
1805. GODWIN, William. FLEETWOOD; or, the new man of feeling. Intwo volumes. Vol. I (& II). New York: Printed for I. Riley & Co., Book-sellers, No. 1, City Hotel. 1805. Possibly the first American edition. (There was another edition published the same year by Cotton & Stewart of Alexandria, VA.) Two 12mo volumes: x,307; 336 pp. Contemporary bindings; full mottled calf with a morocco lettering piece, decorative double-rules, and a volume number gilt-stamped at spine. Ink ownership at front pastedown and half-title of Vol. 2 only. Text leaves are mostly clean, though with some scattered foxed leaves in each volume. Vol. 2 has a few leaves which are age-browned, and two leaves (pp. 101-104) which have small chips at the bottom fore-corners; also, it lacks the free endpapers. Bindings show very shallow chipping at crowns, moderate rubbing all over, with joints starting. Nonetheless, it is a solid and appealing set; very good plus. (Shaw & Shoemaker 8539).
