Description:

Book is Good in no dust jacket. Paperback binding, First Edition,
De L'imprimerie De H. Remy, Bruxelles, 1817. Scarce Brussels printing in original blue paper binding. I have found no mention of this printing, but it is not the London John Murray printing of the same year. In French, it does bear an english one-page 'advertisment' after the title page. Pagination differs from the London printing, eight prelims plus 127pp text, last page blank. Roughcut laid paper is generally clean and free of foxing, paper wavy as is normal for this type of thing. Plain blue grey covers are fraying up the spine strip, but the binding is still holding reasonably. Paper label handwritten at spine top is missing end letters but clearly says 'manuscript'. Comes with an interesting oddity, almost certainly nothing to do with the book, but a competent bright watercolour of Napoleon, a full length profile, painted on period paper with 'Fellows Sons 1821' watermark. Captioned 'Napoleon Taken on the Parade' in pre-1900 style copperplate writing. Size is slightly larger than the book, with rough torn left margin as if the sheet was torn out of a book.
Size 8vo
