Description:
London: T. Cadell, 1794. David Hume's "History of England," written between 1754 and 1761, is rightly considered a masterwork; true lovers of history will read it today. The Scottish novelist Tobias Smollett (1721-1771) felt duty-bound to advance Hume's "History" to a more recent era. This is a Very Good (Plus) copy of Volume II only of an eight-volume set. Full leather binding; two black labels; with titling and decorations in gilt. Clean text; 389 pages; with two engraved plates. The text is exceptionally bright, clear, and supple. Typically rubbed at the margins; bumped; chip to head of spine. Starting to split at the edges of the spine, but holding nicely. Despite these flaws, the book is attractive, with a nice presence.. Later Printing. Full-Leather. Very Good (Plus)/No Jacket. 16mo - over 5¾" - 6¾" tall.

There is minimal bumping and fraying on the cover boards. The pages are yellowing and tanning, with some vertical fraying and warping, but the pages are clear of markings. A few of the pages are dog-eared and edges torn. "The Forsyte Saga was the title originally destined for that part of it which is called 'The Man of Propery; and to adopt it for the collected chronicles of the Forsyte family has indulged the Forsytean tenacity that is in all of us. The word Saga might be objected to on the ground that it connotes the heroic and that there is little of heroism in these pages.
