About This Item
Albany, NY: Backus and Whiting, 1806. First Edition. Full-Leather. Good. Hardcover/ no DJ; about Good condition- esp. for age. Appears to be First American Edition- title page w/ correct publisher (Backus & Whiting, Albany) & date 1806, spine states only Fenelon"". Full leather binding, spine w/ gold gilt decoration, 251 pages, b/w frontis, 6.75"" x 4.25"". Binding shows some soil, edge wear, rubbing, sm. corner bumps- still actually displays fairly well. Hinge cracks to both covers- a bit fragile, but they are still pretty well attached. Ancient ink signature inside front cover & at top margin of title page. Foxing to endpapers, frontis, title page- actual text is relatively bright & free of discolor- maybe minor spotting in some margins. Mild rippling to pages, but no significant signs of moisture & no musty smell. To my mind- a decent example.
