About This Item
Published by Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green, London; 1824. First edition. 8vp. Binding Copy.
Bound in brown leather with gold gilt detailing. The front board has completely separated, although still present, and the spine has almost totally worn away. As such, although on Good condition, this book will need attention to the binding.
Inside, the ffeps and title page have separated, but are present. There is no contents page. Overall, however, the book internally is in Good condition. The pages are clean and bright and only show small signs of ageing with a little toning and age spotting.
Once the binding has been repaired/replaced, this will be a very smart book, which will sit well in any collection.
