About This Item

London: Tabart and Co.. Good with no dust jacket. 1805. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Front & back covers are loose, and the spine is missing. ; Note that this is five books, bound as one. Wilkinson's first book is a first edition. "Visit to a Farm-House" is a second edition, also dated 1805. "The Benevolent Widow" is a third edition. "Prince Lee Boo" is undated, and page 31/32 is clipped. "Hamlain" is not a first, as it is dated 1804, and I believe the work was published in 1799. It may, however, be a first Irish printing, as it was done in Dublin. All plates seem to be present, with the possible exception of the one missing page. All in all, five scarce works bound in one volume. ; 24mo 5" - 6" tall; 628 pages .
