About This Item
London: Rodwell and Martin, 1820. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Publisher's green cloth, gilt-stamped lettering in morocco spine label; complete set of 4 volumes, 8vo; pp. lx, 508; [2 (title-p., blank)], 511; [2], 507; [2], 566. Bindings remain tight and square, but are otherwise shabby -- cloth scratched and scuffed; spines sunned, and chipped at tips; corners bumped. Text blocks, however, are near fine, with just a little faint foxing here and there. An excellent working set, or candidate for rebinding.
