About This Item
Dublin: J. and J.H. Fleming, 1810 Book. Good. Half leather. Undated, but 1793-1810. ESTC shows this as being circa 1793/1794 under record reference N510997. However other sources give it as 1803 and Library Hub shows a record for a reissue of the 3rd edition from 1810. So, somewhere between 1793 and 1810. 2 unnumbered pages followed by xxviii numbered columns, 646 numbered columns, then pages numbered 647-660, with 19 unnumbered pages at the rear. There are 6 plates [only of 7?]: Frontispiece - Large folding map of Ireland - tears and many creases - View of the Giants Causeway - Plan of the Lakes at Killarney Co of Kerry - The Waterfall of Poll A phuca near Russborough Co of Wicklow - View of the Waterfall near Powerscourt. The ESTC listing states that there should be 7 plates, but only 6 present here. Some soiling and spotting to pages and plates. Columns 88-96 are very browned. Columns 563-590 are browned to the fore edge. Tears to a few page edges, but no missing text. A few pencil lines to margins. In old half leather binding, which is worn. Ink owner's name to the front free end paper. The ink transfers through to nearby pages. Folding map has tears, old repairs and is much creased..
