Bewick. 15th edition. [4], 271, [1]. Bound in full dark calf, raised bands, all edges gilt, contrasting label, gilt lines to boards with corner devices, and marbled endpapers.

Dealer Notes
Berquin's popular work is here sympathetically illustrated, and consists of moral tales showing how children should behave toward their parents, and how parents should behave in return. Please note foxing, but a very neat charming binding. ~ POST FREE ~
