About This Item
William Blackwood, Edinburgh., 1822. First edition. Octavo. pp 359, [1] adverts. Mid-20th century binding of three-quarter dark blue morocco with raised bands, marbled boards and endpapers, top edge gilt, retaining the half-title but lacking the twelve-page publisher's catalogue.A bit of light foxing to prelims. Very good indeed.
