About this Item
Three volumes in one. Thick 16mo. Each volume is separately paginated and has a half-title leaf, full page wood engraved frontispiece plate, and separate title page. With several pages of publisher's advertisements at the back. Bound in contemporary straight-grain tan morocco with a decorative design stamped in blind on both covers and in gold on the spine. Contemporary small owner's name: "Capt. Charles Hardie" in light pencil on front free endpaper. The binding is rubbed and worn at the edges, shallow tear at head of spine, else very good with light scattered foxing. A scarce, attractively bound edition of Maria Roche's best-selling Gothic novel. The firm of W.A. Leary & Co. is listed at 138 N. Second St. in Philadelphia directories from 1850-52, and one of the ads at the back is dated up through 1850, thus our attribution of the date circa 1850. Seller Inventory # 574383
