About This Item
London: Bickers and Son, 1879. Hardcover. Very Good. This is an early single volume edition of Southey's seminal work on Nelson. It is beautifully bound in its original pale calf binding, which is faded in places but with gilded spine intact and bright. Interior is clean and bright with the exception of the original owners signature "xmas 1879" which rather adds to the colour! There is light foxing.
