About this Item
Octavo. Second edition. [4], [2]pp. ads, [1]- 260 pages. Two parts in one volume with continuous pagination. Voltaire was becoming a major correspondent on European affairs and published Historie de la guerre de 1741 and then the work was translated into English in 1756. ESTC 137642 in their note specifically says "not a reissue of the 1st edition". The first edition which had 292 pages had several errors hence the corrected edition in the same year. Bound in full contemporary calf, handsomely rebacked to style ruled and lettered in gilt, corners worn, edges rubbed, some off-setting from binding glue to first and last few leaves but only margins not affecting text. No foxing, names or bookplates. A very nice copy. Seller Inventory # 028263
