This is a handsome copy in a fine binding, which would make an attractive addition to any library. The book has been completely rebound in three quarters leather, with marbled boards, and raised bands and gilt decoration to spine. The contents are soundly bound inside. Frontispiece of Sir Water Raleigh, with original tissue guard.

Text is near fine - there is staining and foxing to the frontispiece leaf and tissue guards are foxed. Otherwise text is lovely and clean throughout. There are only a few of the text pages which have some age foxing, but really a very attractive copy of an uncommon book.

468pp.

Dimensions: Approximately 175mm high x 115mm wide x 37mm.
