About This Item
T. Saint for the author, 1770. Hardcover. Very Good. Large thick 8vo, modern 3/4 calf, marbled paper-covered boards, gilt ruling, raised bands with florets in the compartments, red and black title labels, marbled endsheets. Very Good: binding tight and square, bookseller notes in pencil on the ffep, small area of loss to the title page neatly mended and backed, light foxing throughout but not distracting. Includes wood engravings by T. Bewick without attribution. A rather attractive copy.
