London: William S. Orr, 1840. First Edition . Hardcover. Good+. 1st edition, good plus in a fine binding by Stoakley of Cambridge which has seen some wear. In red pebbled leather with all-edge gilt; stunning dcentelles and marbled endpapers. Corners a bit worn, the spine top more so; spots of rubbing here and there on spine. Spine also darkened, tops of boards as well. Internally there is occasional light to moderate foxing.

Description:
Paris: Chez Lotlin/Chez La Combe, 1770. Hardcover. Good+. Instructions for Lords and their Valets". Possibly a 1st edition; the 'Approbation' is dated 1769. This is extremely scarce; we haven't heard of another copy. I had no luck finding the identity of Monsieur "R**", but I don't read French. Good plus, in a very old binding, possibly contemporary. Full leather finished with a marbling effect (boards slt. bowed), gilt borders, gilt title and many devices on spine, marbled endpapers, red chalk edges. Corners worn and bumped, spine ends worn, external front hinge weak so that leather is beginning to split. (2" near the top). The text has been trimmed for the binding, but the margins were quite large. The tail of a trimmed-off owner's name appears at the top of the title page. The 18th-century marbled paper is quite beautiful; the binder was a bit clumsy and there are creases in both pastedowns. A splay of foxing on the half-title page, but nowhere else. Text…

London: Edward Stanford, 1875. First Edition . Hardcover. Good. Francis Frith photos. Rare 1st edition, of which the 1877 book 'The Northern Barrier of India' is an abridgement. Has 568 pp. incl. index; many illustrations including 4 Woodbury-types (an uncommon printing process which makes photographs seem very lucid and 3-dimensional); and in the rear, folding maps; a Snow Map, a Race Map, a Language Map, a Faith Map, a Political Map, chart of 3 Isometric Views, and a chart of 4 Vertical Sections. There is also a folding chart, 'Genealogy of the Rajas of Jummo', to accompany Appendix 6. The binding is 3/4 leather, very worn, and professionally rebacked. The original leather of the spine has been preserved; the title can barely be read. Marbled boards (matching endpapers) rubbed, bookplate on front pastedown. The brittle free endpapers are both breaking at the new hinges. The text is mostly very clean; there are a couple of fingerprints in the margin of the photo, 'Kashmiri…
