About This Item
London & New York: Frederick Warne and Co. Isaac Disraeli (1776-1848) wrote these works in 1812 and 1814; here they are combined in a "New Edition" edited by his more-famous son. Dark brown cloth binding (now lighter on the spine) with a paper label on the spine. Clean text; 552 pages, indexed. There is no publication date; bibliographers seem to agree on 1881, which is the year that Benjamin died. Possibly issued posthumously. The spine label has darkened but remains completely readable: Else, a Fine copy, and a fun read as well.. First Thus. Hard Cover. Near Fine/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
