About This Item
R Morison, 1792. Believed First Edition. Full-Leather. Good/No Jacket. 210pp plus twenty pages of engravings to rear, some fool has written the date of publication in ink under the latin date on the title page but I cannot find any other inscriptions. Looks like endpapers have been replaced and has been rebound in full leather with title to spine with single word Buffon. Internally there is light foxing and some dirty marks throughout, foxing is more pronounced on engravings. Overall this quite a good copy of a scarce work. Happy to supply photos on request, Heavy book, please inquire for postage outside the UK.
