About This Item
Oxford:: Printed at the Clarendon Press, by Samuel Collingwood, 1822., 1822. 8vo. 1039 pp. Paper lightly browned (causing edge painting to look browned). Original dark brown straight grained morocco elaborately stamped in blind, a.e.g.; neatly rebacked, edges scuffed, inner hinges re-enforced. Very good. Leather bookplate of Sydney Sanner. With fore-edge painting of "FOLKSTONE." An early painting (date unknown). PROVENANCE: Navy blue morocco bookplate of Sydney Sanner, possibly a freemason and, if so, this could be the copy of Judge James Sydney Sanner (1872-1956), Supreme Court of Montana. He was also involved with inventing mining machinery. He died in Los Angeles. Earlier inscription of "Emily C. Hammersley, [daughter of my] [and in another hand:] Great Aunt . . .
