About This Item
London: Fisher, Son & Co, 1839. 16th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Half-leather over marbled boards with raised bands and six ornately decorated compartments down the spine. Rubbed and slightly edge-worn, nonetheless showing very well indeed: firm and square, strong joints, bright gilt lettering. Contents clean, tight and secure with no pen-marks and not from a library so no such stamps or labels, just mildly age-toned and an old former owner bookplate to the pastedown. Note: the book doesn't give any publication date, that said the preface is dated 1839. Size: 8vo (200mm x 130mm); collation: pp. 356. Thus a very good copy in very tidy and well preserved condition.
