Two books in one. 'A New Edition' on the title pages of both books. 1814 on the title page of both books. Letters of Junius runs 284 pages and is followed by an unnumbered Index of 16 pages and two unnumbered Contents pages. That is followed by a frontispiece of The Right Hon. Edmund Burke ( 'Printed for Bell's Edition of the Constitutional Classics, 1814' ), which is facing the title page. Reflections on the Revolution runs 246 pages and is followed by two blank rear end papers. Curiously, the early pages don't appear to make any reference to the second book. Both title pages, unsurprisingly, have the same publisher, John Bell. Both books are preceded by a Preface. The one before Letters of Junius runs 14 pages. The one before Reflections on the Revolution runs 2 pages. On the Internet, I found one Constitutional Classics Letters of Junius published by John Bell in 1814. However, that volume is clearly identified as a rebound 284 page book followed by 16 unnumbered pages, and nothing else. I was unable to find any listing anywhere on the Internet of these two books bound together. So it's a nice thing that the book is in pretty nice condition. You can see the covers in the photos. They will show you everything I can describe with words. What you can't necessarily see is that the book is square and the spine is straight. The edges have only light scuffing. Three of the corners have some rub-through. The front cover is solidly bound. There is a fairly thin space off the top edge of the juncture between the front inside cover and front end paper, but it only runs about 1 1/2 inches down and there appear to be four solid bindings along the juncture. The rear cover can be described similarly. There the narrow space runs down only about 3/8ths of an inch. Both covers are free of any kind of give if you pull at them from the side. The interior of the book is in very nice condition. Happily, I don't see any foxing, with the exception of a light bit on the outer margins of the aforementioned frontispiece. I saw only a few instances of a small spot over the whole of the book. I found only a very occasional crease. I didn't see any placeholder creases. There are no markings in the book. There are no attachments. Off the top edge of the front inside cover a Joseph F. Weiler printed his name. He is probably also the one who printed Mar/1934 at the top corner. There is no other writing to be found in the book. There is also a very tiny stamp of his name (J. F. Weiler) off the bottom edge of the rear inside cover, so there is, to correct myself, one marking. The inside covers and end papers each have a fairly small tan spot at their corners and are otherwise pretty clean. That should cover it.…

Store description
Many of the books I will be selling can accurately be described as ranging from somewhat rare to very rare. In some cases there won't be another copy for sale anywhere on the Internet. There doesn't seem much point, for you or me, in offering something that so many others are already offering. Subject matter will range very widely, creating the possibility for people with very different interests to find something that excites them. As regards pricing, my primary goal is to sell the book. Most often I would expect my book to be the least expensive option on the Internet taking into account an appropriate comparison(what is the condition, is the dust jacket present, is the book signed, is it a first printing, etc.). More important than selling the book I want to make sure that you know, as much as is possible, exactly what you are getting. To that end, you'll notice that my descriptions of condition tend to be lengthy, and that there will always be photographs to help you draw your own conclusions. Please feel free to contact me with any questions about a given book. As regards international shipping, the first class or standard rates I charge are based on a package weight between 2 and 3 pounds. If the book is on the thin side there is a possibility that I can securely pack it up under 2 pounds in weight. If so, the shipping price will drop by around $11.00 or $12.00 to $26.00-27.00. Canada, which is less expensive drops to $18.00. You can contact me before purchasing a book for an estimate on the shipping cost. If you buy the book and it weighs in below 2 pounds you'll get a Reduced Shipping message and amount with the invoice and you'll see the lowered final cost before you make your payment.…
