Description:
Dublin: William Curry, Jun. and Company, [n.d., circa late 1840s or 1850s]. x, [2] pages; pp. [5]-396, plus engraved frontispiece portrait of the author and 26 full-page engraved plates by Phiz. Several woodcuts in the text. Later 19th century half blue calf over marbled boards with raised bands, handsomely gilt spine in six compartments, red leather spine label, marbled endpapers, and all edges marbled. Corners are slightly bumped and leather shows minor rubbing at extremities. Light, mostly marginal foxing to frontispiece; lacking the tissue guard; offsetting from the frontispiece to the title-page. Book is over opened between frontispiece and title, but binding is sound. Many plates with light to moderate foxing, with occasional dark spots. A half dozen leaves with scattered old stains, not affecting legibility (a bit of split tea, were we to guess). Many corners with light reader's creases. Text block is thus good only, however the binding is attractive and better than very good. Later printing.

Description:
[Durham: Press of the Seeman Printery, 1920.] 229 pages, plus frontispiece and 11 full page plates from photographs. Most of the plates are portraits with the remainder depicting Durham businesses. Original maroon cloth lettered in gilt. 20.5 x 14 cm. The cloth shows light speckling along the edges of the boards and spine; spine is just a little faded. Margins of some of the plates and facing pages show minor foxing, not affecting images or text. Several leaves with a tiny marginal pinhole (signs of a prior enclosure).
