Full morocco, 8 3/4 inches tall. A beautiful Regency full crushed straight grain morocco binding with gilt raised bands and elaborate extra-gilt panels. A gilt roll, gilt fillets and ornate gilt corner tooling and a blind fillet frame the boards. Gilt dentelles and all edges. First published in 1757, this was the first complete philosophical comprehensive explanation differentiating the beautiful and the sublime, and was very influential throughout Europe. Very slight fading to the spine and a mark on the title but still a lovely copy of this classic work.
