Description:
|
Book is Good in no dust jacket. Full-Leather binding, third edition,
A. Strahan, T. Cadell, London, 1800. Missing volumes 2,3 & 4 of the 12 volume set. Volume 1 has splitting of front hinge, vols 5 to 12 are sound and tight with supple leather bindings. The boards are powdery and worn, spine ends a bit frayed etc, but not in need of immediate attention. The text blocks are generally clean for age, no foxing evident. Vol 1 has a fold out protrait frontis. This goes from 1066 at the start of Vol 5, so if pre William the Conqueror leaves you cold this is the very set for you! Included also is a run-on volume by James Pettit Andrews, being a History of Great Britain from the Death of Henry VIII to the accession of James VI of Scotland to the Crown of England, being a continuation of Dr Henry's History of Great Britian and written on the same plan. Volume II only of this work, and the front hinge is splitting, dated 1796 - this is marked volume 14, as if the two Andrews volumes were direct continuations of the main 12 volumes offered, so effectively we are offering a 14 volume set with vols 2,3,4, & 13 missing. xxv + 368 (v1) + 453 (v5) + 410 + 374 + 442 + 416 + 433 + 530 + 490pp (v12) +374 + errata (v14)
