London [by A. & R. Spottiswoode] for Longman, Rees, Orme, Brown and Green, and J. and J.J. Deighton[in Cambridge] 1829 First Edition Illustrated by Original Letters and Notes, Biographical, Literary and Antiquarian. Woodcut frontispiece, engraved vignette on the title-page, and illustrations and head and tail pieces in the text. Large 8vo. [267 x 184 x 45 mm]. xiv, [ii], 559, [1] pp. Recently bound in green goatskin, the covers gilt tooled with a dog-tooth and line border, an outer double fillet panel, with a floral ornament at the corners, mitred to a middle and an panel formed by floral rolls. The spine divided into six panels, with gilt compartments, the bands tooled with a floral roll, lettered in the second panel and dated at the foot, the other panels with centre and corner tools, the edges of the boards gilt tooled with a floral roll, marbled endleaves, light yellow edges. Occasional light spotting and browning, but a very good copy which remains untrimmed at the fore-edge and foot. The binding looks as if it could be contemporaneous with the book, but is probably not more than a few years old. It is an impressive piece of work.
