About This Item
Oxford: J. Parker; and Messrs. Longman, Hurst, Rees, Orme, and Brown, 1819. Hardcover. Poor. Poor Condition - Please note both covers and spine cap covering present but completely detached. Brown covers are heavily chipped and corners bent, remnants of the title label are still present on the cap. The text block is much better - solidly stitched, with minimal foxing and a brightness to the pages. Some thumbing, and much roughness to the top edge of the block - rough cut. 366 pp., one of the earliest English translations of this classic collection of Hindu fables, in regrettable condition. I have not attempted repair or restoration as I am not an expert and believe that can be done by someone more skilled than I.
