Book Description
London: Longman, Orme, Brown, Green & Longmans, 1838. First edition. This is a very good pair. Title vignettes by S. Williams. Original decorative green cloth stamped in blind and gilt. Sunning to the spine as typical with these volumes. Light bumping to the corners and spine tips. Yellow endpapers as called for.
