Description:
New York: Harper & Bros, 1858. Harper was the main American publisher of Edgeworth's works during the first three quarters of the 19th Century. They were often published in sets, which can be rather difficult to describe, due to multiple issues. Although this is identified as volumes eleven and twelve of "Twenty Volumes Bound in Ten," the spine actually defines this as "Volume Six." Ah well! This is a Very Good copy of Volume 6 of a multi-volume set, containing one of Miss Edgeworth's most famous tales. "Belinda.". Nicely blindstamped cloth decorative binding; designs and title on spine are filled with gilt. Clean text; 237 pages; text is quite bright and still supple - very readable today. The corners are bumped into a bit of a curve and the head and foot of the spine have some rubbing, but a good solid copy.. Later Printing. Decorative Cloth. Very Good/No Jacket. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
