About This Item
London: Seeley, Burnside, and Seeley, 1844. First Edition. Hardcover. Collectible - Good. First edition, in three volumes (all subsequent editions are in four volumes). 8vo in 20th century library binding of blue cloth, pages trimmed and stained red; the trimming is not close to the text. Gilt spine titles with library number at the base of the spines. Each volume has the bookplate of Newcastle Upon Tyne Public Libraries on the front pastedown, and residue from removal of a card from the ffep; small rubber stamp of the library on the title pages; and a 'withdrawn' stamp on the verso of the title pages. All of the bindings are tight and square, the text blocks are generally bright although there is scattered very light foxing. No underlining or marginalia. All of the plates are present. The folding plate in Vol. I has a 1' separation on one the folds. Certainly a more than presentable copy of a title that is quite scarce in the first edition.
