About This Item
London: T.Cadell & W. Davies, 1815. 18th edition 'with additions' . Black Leather. Good+. 12 Cms x 20 Cms. xi+287+(1)(More list), 1826 ink gift inscription fr. fly leaf, eraseable pencil acquisition note dated 1946 verso fr. free endpaper. Internally otehrwise clean, tight & unmarked but occasional browning/foxing to area round lower outer corner, early marbled endpapers, browning/ mottling to non-marbled sides of endpapers, sm. outer edge-nicks fr.fly & endpaper. There is some inner adhesion between end fly & endpaper- in fact it is unclear whether they may have originally been completely pasted together and only later become nearly separated as they are preceded by another blank leaf, the same is true of fr. endpaper and succeeding leaf. Gilte ruled black leather covers with gilt panelled sp. & gilt.dec.edges, cover leather is impressed with a fine chequerboard 'woven' pattern.All edges marbled. The bad news is that the top fr. joint has been damaged for c.6ms from top with loss of thin strip of leather along the hinge, sp.ends also scuffed, more so at top. This damaged has caused some opening of the fr.gutter internally. This remains an attractive copy but the joint damage needs more expert attention than I can give it.
