About This Item
London: William Pickering, 1833. 1st Edition . Hardcover. Fine. Fine leather binding with texture leather boards with decorated impressed borders, spine with impressed decorated panel with gilt on black title label ' The Hand' and gilt on red author label 'Bell', gilt deckled edges, no significant faults - a couple of small darkish spots to back, a few suggestions of edge-rubbing being about it. Rear end-paper has very small label of bookbinder 'Dd.Batten' of Clapham Common which looks early enough to rule out a recent re-bind. Marbled end-papers and edges. xvi + 314, approx 45 text engravings (these un-numbered and unlisted); internally clean, tight and quite unmarked, no tanning or foxing. Although a 2nd (unaltered) edition was issued later the same year this was clearly marked as such. 13.5 cm x 22 cm
