Very good full leather hardbacks w/PON on title page of both volumes; both volumes also have nicely repaired hinges & foxing throughout; dark spacing on edges of front & rear pastedowns possibly from too much leather conditioner in the past that made the edges bleed; volume 1 lacks the 1st end page. Now, the positives: full leather with raised bands, NO other writing or marks other than those stated above. All six fold out maps/charts/drawings plus the frontispiece of Cortez are present, attached, & in nice shape - Biblio only allows 8 photos so if you need more, please advise. Please be aware that the photos above are part of the description and as such they trump any remarks listed in this column. Book(s) may be returned for any reason if received back within 14 days of customer receipt.
NOTE: The first edition was published in Madrid in 1684 authored by Solis, it was first published in English in 1724 and translated by Thomas Townsend. A second edition by Townsend was published in 1738 and this copy,the revised/corrected, third edition published in 1753 and was edited by Nathaniel Hooke.

I. Riley and Co, New York, 1806. Volumes 1 & 2 (of 3) Hardcover in the original calfskin binding with leather spine labels (titles in gilt largely faded.) "Translated by an American Gentleman," Washington Irving, and this happens to be his first book. Illustrated with a large (26-1/2" x 17-3/4") folded map in the first volume - the map has been repaired (please see photos) in the upper right hands corner. The binding is sound on these antique books - the pages are age toned but in good condition, with foxing heavier in Vol 2 (particularly at the front of the book) than 1. The boards of Vol. 2 are slightly bowed and there's a fair amount of quill pen names and notes in the front and back of that volume.
About the book:Depons traveled through northeastern South America, including Venezuela and the Guianas, and observed the… Read More

The only book to date that can be read to understand the period of Forbes Burnham's control of Guyana is this superb work by Jesuit priest, Father Andrew Morrison, the former editor of the Catholic Standard, the official paper of the Catholic Church in Guyana. It is essential reading to get a glimpse of how an unelected government can destroy a country.
