"Few discoveries have been as dramatic as the discovery of argon in the atmosphere by Lord Rayleigh and William Ramsay, professor of chemistry at University College, London.

Sketches by Boz: - 1839 original cloth binding
by Dickens, Charles
- Used
- good
- Hardcover
- first
1839 Chapman and Hall first collected edition. 526 pages, with 40 illustrations by George Cruikshank. Original 1839 binding (uncommon), with vertical grained cloth and an embossed design on the board panels.
Condition of the book is Good. Condition issues are as noted below. Also, please carefully review the listing photos.
1) The board cloth shows significant wear. The color of the cloth has faded. The cloth has split where the board panels join with the spine. Four small stains from old tape repairs are visible at the corners of both the front and back boards.
2) Portions of the board cloth are missing on the spine. The top edge of the spine cloth is gone. There also is a long thin piece of cloth missing on the spine's lower right edge. This fragment of cloth has been retained (see last photo), and could be used if the spine cloth is to be repaired.
3) The front endpapers contain the prior owner's bookplate and signature. The owner was Basil Thomas Woodd, an attorney and Member of Parliament.
4) All of Cruikshank's illustrations are present. The plates were printed on different paper stock than the text portions of the book. The plate edges show browning. The actual illustrations, centered on each page, are not affected by the browning.
5) The preliminary leaves, including the two frontis illustrations, show moderate foxing. Interior pages are relatively free of foxing.
In sum, the book has significant condition issues, as might be expected for a 180 year old book that has been preserved as originally published.
Please message me with any questions.
