Description:
London: Printed by J. Barfield for Cadell and Davis, and Others, 1800. Octavo. 2nd edition. Volume one. Translated from the French. 379pp., three folding maps, (one very large map has old repair to fold). This is basically a reprint of the 1797 first edition with a few changes and corrections and of course with added maps. He had planned a five volume set over the next couple of years 1800-1801. Bound in full calf, spine flat and decorated in gilt, joints rubbed and somewhat fragile, closed edge tear to last page. Author's note: "It is scarcely necessary to say, that the high price to which paper has lately risen, and the still greater increase of expence, incurred by the addition of the maps, do not permit the price of this volume to be left the same as that of the first edition". A good copy.
