Item description from seller

An illustrated edition of this collection of stories about the character, Roger de Coverley. An English squire of Queen Anne's reign, Sir Roger exemplified the values of an old country gentleman, and was portrayed as lovable but somewhat ridiculous ('rather beloved than esteemed') (Spectator no. 2), making his Tory politics seem harmless but silly. He was said to be the grandson of the man who invented the dance. Reprinted from the Spectator. In a blue cloth binding with gilt detailing. Externally, sound. Some marks to the boards and some bumping to the head and tail of the spine and to the extremities. Ink signatures to half-titles. Internally, generally firmly bound although strained in places. Pages are bright, though with some scattered instances of foxing throughout. Good.
