About This Item
London: A. Wilson, 1810. An early-19th Century printing of Hume's great work of history, this being Volume VI only of ten in the original set. Full leather binding, gilt ruling on the covers; gilt decorations and titling on the spine. Clean text; 400 pages with marbled edges. While the book is titly bound, there are some condition issues. Corners are bumped and rubbed; chip on rear cover; the marbling on the page ends is faint. The front endpapers and paste-down are missing, with the book beginning with a publisher's advert. The textblock is wavy, no doubt from moist conditions at some time (although there are no flood-marks. Some pages have creased corners at the bottom, having been turned at some time. Please note the condition issues. Quercus must offer this as a Binding Copy, in need of repairs or restoration.. Later Printing. Full-Leather. Good/No Jacket. 24mo - over 5" - 5¾" tall.
