About This Item
London: R.B. Seeley and W. Burnside, 1834. Hardcover. Very Good. Second edition. Four volumes. Octavos. Engraved frontispiece portrait in Vol. 1. Bound in half morocco and marbled paper over boards, gilt decorated spines each with two leather titling labels, edges sprinkled red. Owner name ("B. Culpin") and address dated 1897 on front free endpaper of each volume. With a two-page holograph letter by Hannah More neatly tipped onto the front free endpaper of Vol. 1. The frontispiece portrait is foxed, light wear at the edges of the boards and corners, very good or better. The letter has three small tears (at a corner and from the wax seal), very good. A handsome set owned by a Hannah More collector. The tipped-in letter was written by More to William Bulger, Jun., her bookseller at Bristol. She asks a favor regarding a book sent from her and hopes that he "will take a ride and spend a day with us." The letter is dated by Bulger in an appended note (April 12, 1827). A handsomely bound set with More's letter carefully tipped in, in such a way that it can be easily unfolded for reading.
