Description:
London: John Stockdale , 1788. Contemporaty leather with gold gilt ruling on the front and rear covers . Red spine labels with gold gilt lettering. The book is in very good condition. The corners are lightly bumped. It appears the book had the end sheets replaced at some time as they are much brighter than the rest of the book - even so, there was a written notation concerning replacing the end sheets (which I gently erased). The book pages are lightly browned with age, but there is very little foxing. There also appears to be very light dampstaining to the top inch or so of the last half of the book, but it is light. The book is very well preserved. The book has an engraved frontispiece. 292 pages followed by ads for other books from the publisher. This is the "new edition" . . HardCover. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
